From: Edwin Peer <edwin.peer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 132e0b65dc2b8bfa9721bfce834191f24fd1d7ed ] A TX queue can potentially immediately timeout after it is stopped and the last TX timestamp on that queue was more than 5 seconds ago with carrier still up. Prevent these intermittent false TX timeouts by bringing down carrier first before calling netif_tx_disable(). Fixes: c0c050c58d84 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
