The W5300 Ethernet function is only available in channel 0. The other channels
(1~7) is used hardwired TCP/IP stack.
I was limited to the Ethernet function in this driver because hardwired TCP/IP
stack to use the TCP/IP stack in linux kernel be modified.

If isr is 0, it is to ensure that the W5300 is received an interrupt responses.
You mean that there is a need to the loop exit routine. right?

Thank you for your detailed feedback.

I will rewrite the driver code by applied your feedback. When the work is
completed, I will suggest the rewritten driver code to this thread.

Thank you.

T.K.
