Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] mlxbf_gige: Fix intermittent no ip issue

Although the link is up, there is no ip assigned on a setup with high background
traffic. Nothing is transmitted nor received.
The RX error count keeps on increasing. After several minutes, the RX error count
stagnates and the GigE interface finally gets an ip.

The issue is in the mlxbf_gige_rx_init function. As soon as the RX DMA is enabled,
the RX CI reaches the max of 128, and it becomes equal to RX PI. RX CI doesn't decrease
since the code hasn't ran phy_start yet.

The solution is to move the rx init after phy_start.

Fixes: f92e1869d74e ("Add Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet driver")
