I think the name is unclear...
Anyway, this hardware has 3 ethernet ports and 2 CPU ports.
So that the RSWITCH_NUM_HW is 5. Perhaps, RSWITCH_NUM_ALL_PORTS
is better name.
Perhaps, since the current driver supports 1 ethernet port and 1 CPU port only,
I should modify this driver for the current condition strictly.

Yes, this is number of ethernet ports.

This is needed to avoid about 10% packets loss when the hardware sends data
because the hardware will send much data if the limit is not set.

Yes.

I got it. I'll rename them.

The descriptor indexes (c->cur and c->dirty) are just counters so that
the index is always calculated by that. This implementation is similar
with other drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/ drivers. However, as you mentioned
above, this is not majority, I think...
Also, I realized that the function will cause an issue because the types of
c->cur and c->dirty are u32, but the type of start is int.
I'll fix the indexes handling.

Yes, the num_ring means the size of the ring. So, I'll rename it as your suggestion.

Yes. I'll use it. Thanks!

Perhaps, c->skbs is better name than just c->skb.

Thank you for pointed it out. I should decrement/check boguscnt
before the barrier and read the length.

This cannot happen now. So, I'll drop it.
(I intended to create a netdev without an etha as a virtual device.
But the current driver doesn't have such a feature.)
