Just asking, did you manage to test this on other platforms that haven't
this issue?
SAMA5D2 datasheet [1] states this:
"When in packet buffer full store and forward mode, only good received
frames are written out of the DMA, so no
 fragments will exist in the AHB buffers due to MAC receiver errors. There
is still the possibility of fragments due to
 DMA errors, for example used bit read on the second buffer of a
multibuffer frame."

But it is true that nowhere is presented that this must be special treated.

Moreover, if you do this only for MACB_ERRATA_RXLOCKUP and still have RXUBR
interrupt enabled every time it would not make sense to still enable it.
Or, if you want it enabled every time, you should clear it no matter the
MACB_ERRATA_RXLOCKUP is set or not, with something like this:

                        if (bp->caps & MACB_CAPS_ISR_CLEAR_ON_WRITE)

                                queue_writel(queue, ISR, MACB_BIT(RXUBR));


Thank you,
