[ Upstream commit e1210fe63bf8b080edd0805240e90b81b6b069c1 ]
The MAC can get out of step with the internal packet FIFOs if the
system goes to sleep when the link is active, especially at high
data rates. This can result in partial frames in the packet FIFOs
that in result in malformed frames being delivered to the host.
This occurs because the driver does not enable/disable the internal
packet FIFOs in step with the corresponding MAC data path. The
following changes fix this problem.
Update code that enables/disables the MAC receiver and transmitter
to the more general Rx and Tx data path, where the data path in each
direction consists of both the MAC function (Tx or Rx) and the
corresponding packet FIFO.
In the receive path the packet FIFO must be enabled before the MAC
receiver but disabled after the MAC receiver.
In the transmit path the opposite is true: the packet FIFO must be
enabled after the MAC transmitter but disabled before the MAC
transmitter.
The packet FIFOs can be flushed safely once the corresponding data
path is stopped.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
