The msgdma_pref_initialize uses a local rx_ring_size which is already 2 *
priv->rx_ring_size.  i'll just make it more clear and fix the other error
above where priv->rx_ring_size is being used for the tx_ring_size.

I will look into what i can do with this, it is no different than the
currently implemented msgdma code, not that that is an excuse.

nope, that's an error. thanks.

i will clean up the comment.  The rx path keeps it's own copy
of pref_rx_prod as the pref ring size is 2 * tse ring size.  I'll
also see how tricky it is to get rid of this copy.

Nope, thank you for looking them over.
