Subject: [PATCH net.git] net: bgmac: postpone turning IRQs off to avoid SoC hangs

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

Turning IRQs off is done by accessing Ethernet controller registers.
That can't be done until device's clock is enabled. It results in a SoC
hang otherwise.

This bug remained unnoticed for years as most bootloaders keep all
Ethernet interfaces turned on. It seems to only affect a niche SoC
family BCM47189. It has two Ethernet controllers but CFE bootloader uses
only the first one.
