The E-MAC interrupts are left disabled when the ring parameters are changed via 'ethtool'. In order to fix this, it's enough to call sh_eth_dev_init() with 'true' instead of 'false' for the second argument (which conveniently allows us to remove the following code re-enabling E-DMAC interrupts and reception).
