Yup, the transmit interrupt is deemed optional, or at least was up to 
some point during the driver development. There is however a worthy bug 
you could fix:

   static int bcm4908_enet_stop(struct net_device *netdev)
   {
           struct bcm4908_enet *enet = netdev_priv(netdev);
           struct bcm4908_enet_dma_ring *tx_ring = &enet->tx_ring;
           struct bcm4908_enet_dma_ring *rx_ring = &enet->rx_ring;

           netif_stop_queue(netdev);
           netif_carrier_off(netdev);
           napi_disable(&rx_ring->napi);
           napi_disable(&tx_ring->napi);

           bcm4908_enet_dma_rx_ring_disable(enet, &enet->rx_ring);
           bcm4908_enet_dma_tx_ring_disable(enet, &enet->tx_ring);

           bcm4908_enet_dma_uninit(enet);

           free_irq(enet->irq_tx, enet);

We might attempt to free an invalid interrupt here ^^

           free_irq(enet->netdev->irq, enet);

           return 0;
