Under some circumstances it may happen that the ks8851 Ethernet driver stops sending data. Currently the interrupt handler resets the interrupt status flags in the hardware after handling TX. With this approach we may lose interrupts in the time window between handling the TX interrupt and resetting the TX interrupt status bit. When all of the three following conditions are true then transmitting data stops: - TX queue is stopped to wait for room in the hardware TX buffer - no queued SKBs in the driver (txq) that wait for being written to hw - hardware TX buffer is empty and the last TX interrupt was lost This is because reenabling the TX queue happens when handling the TX interrupt status but if the TX status bit has already been cleared then this interrupt will never come. With this commit the interrupt status flags will be cleared before they are handled. That way we stop losing interrupts. The wrong handling of the ISR flags was there from the beginning but with commit 3dc5d445 ("net: ks8851: Fix TX stall caused by TX buffer overrun") the issue becomes apparent.
