netif_rx_complete() takes a netdev parameter and does dev_put() on
that netdev, so netif_rx_reschedule() needs to also take a netdev
parameter and do dev_hold() on it to avoid reference counts from
getting becoming negative because of unbalanced dev_put()s.
This should fix the problem reported by

Further complicating things is that you need to setup a ppc32
cross-build environment to even build test a conversion, and I'm not
comfortable doing the surgery until I can test build the thing.

it and see if I can get the driver working...
Thanks a lot Roland.
