256 tx descriptors can introduce a significant latency. Can you add
support for BQL (netdev_sent_queue/netdev_completed_queue) to limit
the queue size to the minimum?

I also noticed that your tx_lock() prevents you from concurrently
running sun8i_emac_complete_xmit() and sun8i_emac_xmit(). Is that
necessary? I'd think that you can find a way to make them work
concurrently.
