+Subject: bnx2x: tx_has_work should not wait for FW
+Acked-by: Karsten Keil <kkeil@novell.com>
+Reference: bnc#472500
+
+The current tx_has_work waited until all packets sent by the driver
+are marked as completed by the FW. This is too greedy and it causes
+the bnx2x_poll to spin in vain. The driver should only check that all
+packets FW already completed are freed - only in unload flow the
+driver should make sure that transmit queue is empty
