Can you comment on the kmemleak_not_leak(skb) call above, and its
relationship to the pre-existing error handling path in am65_cpsw_nuss_common_open()?
I see that the dev_kfree_skb_any() call is being made from am65_cpsw_nuss_rx_cleanup(),
which is only called from am65_cpsw_nuss_common_stop().

So if there are errors during am65_cpsw_nuss_common_open() and
descriptors have already been added to the RX DMA channel, they will not
be removed either from hardware or from software. How does that work?
