Subject: [PATCH v6 6/9] bgmac: increase rx ring size from 511 to 512

Limiting it to 511 looks like a failed attempt at leaving one descriptor
empty to allow the hardware to stop processing a buffer that has not
been prepared yet. However, this doesn't work because this affects the
total ring size as well
