Looks very nice overall. Just a few things I noticed, and some ideas
that may or may not make sense:

Maybe you should just define your own macro instead of replacing
the normal one then?

This looks wrong: you should not have shared 'flags' passed into
spin_lock_irqsave(), and I don't even see a need to use the
irqsave variant of the lock in the first place.

Maybe start by open-coding the lock and remove the wrappers
above.

Then see if you can use a cheaper spin_lock_bh() or plain spin_lock()
instead of irqsave.

Finally, see if this can be done in a lockless way by relying on
appropriate barriers and separating the writers into separate
cache lines. From a brief look at the driver I think it can be done
without too much trouble.

Do you actually need to read the register? That is usually a relatively
expensive operation, so if possible try to use clear the bits when
you don't care which bits were set.

I would always add BQL flow control in new drivers, using
netdev_sent_queue here...

... and netdev_completed_queue()  here.

It looks like most of the stuff inside of the loop can be pulled out
and only done once here.

I think you want to leave (at least some of) the interrupts masked
if your budget is exhausted, to avoid generating unnecessary
irqs.

It may also be faster to not mask/unmask at all but just
clear the interrupts that you have finished processing
