<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a wrong check on num_txbdfree. It could lead to
num_txbdfree become nagative.  Result was that the gianfar stops
sending data.

Changes from first version :
- removed a space between parens (David Millers comment)
- full email address in signed off line

Ira Snyder found that commit 8c7396aebb68994c0519e438eecdf4d5fa9c7844
"gianfar: Merge Tx and Rx interrupt for scheduling clean up ring" can
cause hangs. It's because there was removed clearing of interrupts in
gfar_schedule_cleanup() (which is called by an interrupt handler) in
case when netif scheduling has been disabled. This patch brings back
this action and a comment.

SOFT_RESET must be asserted for at least 3 TX clocks in order for it to work
properly.  The syncs in the gfar_write() commands have been hiding this, but
we need to guarantee it.

commit 77ecaf2d5a8bfd548eed3f05c1c2e6573d5de4ba ("gianfar: Fix VLAN
HW feature related frame/buffer size calculation") wrongly removed
priv-&gt;vlgrp assignment, and now priv-&gt;vlgrp is always NULL.

This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes following sparse warning
introduced by the same commit:
gianfar.c:1406:13: warning: context imbalance in 'gfar_vlan_rx_register' - wrong count at exit

gfar_vlan_rx_register() checks for "if (old_grp == grp)" and tries
to return w/o dropping the lock.

According to net/8021q/vlan.c VLAN core issues rx_register() callback:
1. In register_vlan_dev() only on a newly created group;
2. In unregister_vlan_dev() only if the group becomes empty.

Thus the check in the gianfar driver isn't needed.

The commit merged TX and RX interrupt code into a single routine that
schedules NAPI, but no locks were introduced. This causes irq races, so
when irqs are enabled and netif_rx_schedule_prep() returns 0, nobody
disable the interrupts again. This leads to interrupt storm and finally
to the lockup.

instead of sizeof() as per the larger patch series that will remove
"char bus_id[20]" from struct device.

When changing the link between 100Mbps and 1Gbps in SGMII mode it was
found out that the link would stop working.  The issue is that ECNTRL[R100]
needs to be cleared when in 1Gbps mode.  Older reference manuals didn't
require the explicitly clearing but has since been found it that it is
needed.

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

gfar_poll would declare polling done once the rx queue was empty,
but the tx queue could still have packets left.

Stolen mostly from the e1000 driver.
