Not related to your patch, but seeing above code, I can understand
you might have a problem in flood situation : Only first queue(s) are
depleted, and last one cannot be because howmany >= budget.

This driver might have to remember last queue it handled at previous
call ucc_geth_poll(), so that all rxqueues have same probability to be scanned.

j = ug->lastslot;
for (i = 0; ug_info->numQueuesRx; i++) {
	if (++j >= ug_info->numQueuesRx)
		j = 0;
	howmany += ucc_geth_rx(ugeth, j, budget - howmany);
	if (howmany >= budget)
		break;
}
ug->lastslot = j;
