From: Harini Katakam <harini.katakam@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0504453139ef5a593c9587e1e851febee859c7d8 ] Current order in open: -> Enable interrupts (macb_init_hw) -> Enable NAPI -> Start PHY Sequence of RX handling: -> RX interrupt occurs -> Interrupt is cleared and interrupt bits disabled in handler -> NAPI is scheduled -> In NAPI, RX budget is processed and RX interrupts are re-enabled With the above, on QEMU or fixed link setups (where PHY state doesn't matter), there's a chance macb RX interrupt occurs before NAPI is enabled. This will result in NAPI being scheduled before it is enabled. Fix this macb open by changing the order.
