Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next 7/7] net: ag71xx: disable napi interrupts during probe

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

ag71xx_probe is registering ag71xx_interrupt as handler for gmac0/gmac1
interrupts. The handler is trying to use napi_schedule to handle the
processing of packets. But the netif_napi_add for this device is
called a lot later in ag71xx_probe.

It can therefore happen that a still running gmac0/gmac1 is triggering the
interrupt handler with a bit from AG71XX_INT_POLL set in
AG71XX_REG_INT_STATUS. The handler will then call napi_schedule and the
napi code will crash the system because the ag->napi is not yet
initialized.

The gmcc0/gmac1 must be brought in a state in which it doesn't signal a
AG71XX_INT_POLL related status bits as interrupt before registering the
interrupt handler. ag71xx_hw_start will take care of re-initializing the
AG71XX_REG_INT_ENABLE.

This will become relevant when dual GMAC devices get added here.
