bcmgenet_desc_rx() uses "rxpktprocessed", so I'd go with "txpktprocessed" here.

This change doesn't look correct. The number of cleaned packets is not
necessarily equal to the number of cleaned TxBDs.
I think that the while-loop should be:
while (last_tx_cn-- > 0) {
tx_cb_ptr = ring->cbs + last_c_index;
if (tx_cb_ptr->skb) {
pkts_compl++;
dev->stats.tx_packets++;
dev->stats.tx_bytes += tx_cb_ptr->skb->len;
dma_unmap_single(&dev->dev,
dma_unmap_addr(tx_cb_ptr, dma_addr),
tx_cb_ptr->skb->len,
DMA_TO_DEVICE);
bcmgenet_free_cb(tx_cb_ptr);
} else if (dma_unmap_addr(tx_cb_ptr, dma_addr)) {
dev->stats.tx_bytes +=
dma_unmap_len(tx_cb_ptr, dma_len);
dma_unmap_page(&dev->dev,
dma_unmap_addr(tx_cb_ptr, dma_addr),
dma_unmap_len(tx_cb_ptr, dma_len),
DMA_TO_DEVICE);
dma_unmap_addr_set(tx_cb_ptr, dma_addr, 0);
}
ring->free_bds++;
last_c_index++;
last_c_index &= (num_tx_bds - 1);
}

bcmgenet_xmit() stops the Tx queue when:
ring->free_bds <= (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1)
So, shouldn't this check be:
netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq) && (ring->free_bds > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1))
Having said that --
Why does the driver stop the Tx queue when there are still
(MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1) TxBDs left?
It leaves 17 or so TxBDs unused on the Tx ring, and most of the
packets are not fragmented.
I feel that bcmgenet_xmit() should stop the Tx queue only when there
is 1 TxBD left after putting a new packet on the ring.
