It fixes da78dbff2e05630921c551dbbc70a4b7981a8fff. I don't see exactly how that can be true. That commit didn't change the parts of the NAPI poll processing which are relevant here, mainly the guarding of the RX and TX work using the status bits which are cleared. Maybe I'm missing something? If so, indeed it would be nice to add a proper Fixes: tag here. Thanks!
