Subject: [PATCH RESEND] atl1: fix 4G memory corruption bug

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@...il.com>

When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts
memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been
unmapped.  Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce
buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping
it fixes the problem.
