+Subject: net: stmmac: Set dma ring length before enabling the DMA

+Message-ID: <20190415074947.6144-1-larper@axis.com>
+
+From: Lars Persson <lars.persson@axis.com>
+
+This was fixed in upstream by commit 7d9e6c5afab6 ("net: stmmac: Integrate
+XGMAC into main driver flow") that is a new feature commit.
+
+We found a race condition in the DMA init sequence that hits if the
+PHY already has link up during stmmac_hw_setup. Since the ring length
+was programmed after enabling the RX path, we might receive a packet
+before the correct ring length is programmed. When that happened we
+could not get reliable interrupts for DMA RX and the MTL complained
+about RX FIFO overrun.
