Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fec: fix uninitialized rx buffer usage

From: Rob Herring <r.herring@...escale.com>

The fec driver was enabling receive buffer descriptor without allocating
the buffers. Make sure the buffer descriptors are initialized to not
start receiving packets.

Open also calls fec_restart after the rx buffers are allocated. With the code
in fec_restart, it zeroes out the buffer descriptors that have just been
setup.
