net: macb: fix dropped RX frames due to a race
Bit RX_USED set to 0 in the address field allows the controller to write
data to the receive buffer descriptor.
The driver does not ensure the ctrl field is ready (cleared) when the
controller sees the RX_USED=0 written by the driver. The ctrl field might
only be cleared after the controller has already updated it according to
a newly received frame, causing the frame to be discarded in gem_rx() due
to unexpected ctrl field contents.
A message is logged when the above scenario occurs:
macb ff0b0000.ethernet eth0: not whole frame pointed by descriptor
Fix the issue by ensuring that when the controller sees RX_USED=0 the
ctrl field is already cleared.
This issue was observed on a ZynqMP based system.
