Thanks for your suggestion. The (0xf << 0) mask enable tx finish and tx abort
interrupts at hardware level. And the reason this mask has 4 bits is that
sun4i emac has 2 tx channels. I reduce it into two macros EMAC_INT_CTL_TX_EN 
and EMAC_INT_CTL_TX_ABRT_EN, this may be more readable, since we always
enable both tx channels in the driver.
