Thanks for testing.  I've just submitted the above as a fix for 5.3.
(Actually with a small change, the check for (tfr->rx_buf) needs to
be preserved in case DMA is disabled.)

The patch can be backported to 5.2 and older stable kernels if "ctlr"
is replaced by "master", we can inform Greg about that once the patch
lands in Linus' tree.  And I've amended my patch set to revert this
patch when dropping MUST_RX.

Thanks,

Lukas
