From: Mohamed Abbas <mabbas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Value of count is used to decide when to replenish rx buffers. If it is equal or above 8 we replenish the buffers. Ensure there is no starvation by initializing count to 8 - thus forcing replenish at first iteration. This is helpful when rx receives batches of buffers smaller than 8.
