Yes, so in stmmac_tso_allocator() we currently have:

	static void stmmac_tso_allocator(struct stmmac_priv *priv, dma_addr_t des,
					 int total_len, bool last_segment, u32 queue)
	{
		struct stmmac_tx_queue *tx_q = &priv->dma_conf.tx_queue[queue];
		struct dma_desc *desc;
		u32 buff_size;
		int tmp_len;

		tmp_len = total_len;

		while (tmp_len > 0) {
			dma_addr_t curr_addr;

			tx_q->cur_tx = STMMAC_GET_ENTRY(tx_q->cur_tx,
							priv->dma_conf.dma_tx_size);
			...
			curr_addr = des + (total_len - tmp_len);
			if (priv->dma_cap.addr64 <= 32)
				desc->des0 = cpu_to_le32(curr_addr);

so on the first loop you've got:
	tmp_len = total_len
	...
	curr_addr = des + total_len - temp_len
	i.e.
	curr_addr = des
meaning with the "first" handling I've highlighted we've got
	first->des0 = des
	"next"->des0 = des

where "next" is the cur_tx descriptor in the first loop of
stmmac_tso_allocator() (essentially the second descriptor).
That seems broken to me, and was that way prior to this patch.

You've modified the behavior in this patch unintentionally. I think it
needs modifying, but it should be done so explicitly in its own patch
prior to this one. I also think the current modification in this patch
isn't a fix. See prior reply below where I highlighted the programming as I
understand it with this patch applied, which would result in something
like.

first->des0 = des
first->des1 = des + proto_hdr_len
"next"->des0 = des + proto_hdr_len

Which again seems wrong, two descriptors pointing to the same address
isn't making sense to me.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I want to make sure we're on
the same page! Sounds like you're looking into it based on the below
comment, but some of these comments here made me think I didn't explain
the situation well enough.
