This doesn't make any sense, why are you only re-enabling the
interrupt if the status bit is clear?

You should do this unconditionally.

If your logic triggers, polling is disabled and the interrupt handler
isn't going to run, so your driver will stop taking packets.

Please please, stop being so clever with the conditions here, simply
if you didn't use the whole budget turn off NAPI and reenable
interrupts.
