At least on Renesas R8A7778, EESR.ECI interrupt seems to fire regardless of its
mask in EESIPR register. I can 100% reproduce it with the following scenario:
target is booted with 'ip=on' option, and so IP-Config opens SoC Ether device
but doesn't get a proper reply and then succeeds with on-board SMC chip; then
I login and try to bring up the SoC Ether device with 'ifconfig', and I get
an ECI interrupt once request_irq() is called by sh_eth_open() (while interrupt
mask in EESIPR register is all 0), if that interrupt is accompanied by a pending
EESR.FRC (frame receive completion) interrupt, I get kernel oops in sh_eth_rx()
because sh_eth_ring_init() hasn't been called yet!
The solution I worked out is the following: in sh_eth_interrupt(), mask the
interrupt status from EESR register with the interrupt mask from EESIPR register
in order not to handle the disabled interrupts -- but forcing EESIPR.M_ECI bit
in this mask set because we always need to fully handle EESR.ECI interrupt in
sh_eth_error() in order to quench it (as it doesn't get cleared by just writing
1 to the this bit as all the other interrupts).
While at it, remove unneeded initializer for 'intr_status' variable and give it
*unsigned long* type, matching the type of sh_eth_read()'s result; fix comment.

The code handling the absent LINK signal (or the absent PSR register -- which
reflects the state of this signal) is quite naive and has probably never really
worked. It's probably enough to say that this code is executed only on the LINK
change interrupt (sic!) but even if we actually have the signal and choose to
ignore it (it might be connected to PHY's link/activity LED output as on the
Renesas BOCK-W board), sh_eth_adjust_link() on which this code relies to update
'mdp->link' gets executed later than the LINK change interrupt where it is
checked, and so RX/TX never get enabled via ECMR register.
So, ignore the LINK changed interrupt iff LINK signal is absent (or just chosen
not to be used) or PSR register is absent, and enable/disable RX/TX directly in
sh_eth_adjust_link() in this case.

For 82576 MAC type, max_adj is reported as 1000000000 ppb. However, if

INCVALUE_82576_MASK, resulting in setting of zero TIMINCA.incvalue, stopping
the PHC (instead of going at twice the nominal speed).
Fix the advertised max_adj value to the largest value hardware can handle.
As there is no min_adj value available (-max_adj is used instead), this will
also prevent stopping the clock intentionally. It's probably not a big deal,
other igb MAC types don't support stopping the clock, either.

igb_probe_vfs
igb_enable_sriov(, max_vfs)

This leaves vfs_allocated_count = 7 and vf_data = NULL, so we bomb out
when igb_probe finally calls igb_reset. It seems like a really bad
idea, and somewhat pointless, to set vfs_allocated_count separate from
vf_data, but limiting max_vfs is enough to avoid the null pointer.

Using TX push when notifying the NIC of multiple new descriptors in
the ring will very occasionally cause the TX DMA engine to re-use an
old descriptor. This can result in a duplicated or partly duplicated
packet (new headers with old data), or an IOMMU page fault. This does
not happen when the pushed descriptor is the only one written.
TX push also provides little latency benefit when a packet requires
more than one descriptor.
