When the NIC driver doesn't configure enough buffers to keep up
with a big TFTP windowsize, error reporting is less than optimal,
e.g. on Layerscape FMan:
T BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT T BBBBBBBBBBBBT
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT
or on older DWMAC1000 (non-EQOS):
WARNING: eth0: Rx error status (8800)
T BBBBBBWARNING: eth0: Rx error status (8800)
While we probably want to increase ring buffer depth in the drivers of
these NICs, for now, at least print a helpful warning.
