Currently the emulated EMAC for sun8i always traverses the transmit queue
from the head when transferring packets. It searches for a list of consecutive
descriptors whichs are flagged as ready for processing and transmits their
payloads
accordingly. The controller stops processing once it finds a descriptor that is
not
marked ready.
While the above behaviour works in most situations, it is not the same as the
actual
EMAC in hardware. Actual hardware uses the TX_CUR_DESC register value to keep
track
of the last position in the transmit queue and continues processing from that
position
when software triggers the start of DMA processing. The currently emulated
behaviour can
lead to packet loss on transmit when software fills the transmit queue with
ready
descriptors that overlap the tail of the circular list.
This commit modifies the emulated EMAC for sun8i such that it processes
the transmit queue using the TX_CUR_DESC register in the same way as hardware.
