3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d9317aea16ecec7694271ef11fb7791a0f0d9cc5 upstream.
As part of a workaround for a hardware erratum in the SFC9100 family
(SF bug 35388), the TX_DESC_UPD_DWORD register address is also used
for communicating with the event block, and only descriptor pointer
values < 2048 are valid.
If the TX DMA ring size is increased to 4096 descriptors (which the
firmware still allows) then we may write a descriptor pointer
value >= 2048, which has entirely different and undesirable effects!
Limit the TX DMA ring size correctly when this workaround is in
effect.
Fixes: 8127d661e77f ('sfc: Add support for Solarflare SFC9100 family')
