[PATCH v2 1/1] net: macb: ensure ordering write to re-enable RX smoothly

From: Zumeng Chen
Date: Mon Nov 28 2016 - 08:55:18 EST


When a hardware issue happened as described by inline comments, the register
write pattern looks like the following:

<write ~MACB_BIT(RE)>
+ wmb();
<write MACB_BIT(RE)>

There might be a memory barrier between these two write operations, so add wmb
to ensure an flip from 0 to 1 for NCR.

V2 changes:

Add the same wmb for at91ether as well based on reviewer's suggestion.
