Subject: B43: Handle DMA RX descriptor underrun
From: Thommy Jakobsson <thommyj@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 73b82bf0bfbf58e6ff328d3726934370585f6e78 upstream.
Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could
happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can
handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and
refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This
patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will
handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.
