Are the status flags in the MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS register cleared on
_writes_? (I am asking because for some reason my DW QoS Eth v5.10a HW
manual has the status MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS flags marked as R/W, which is
weird access mode for the status flags.) If they turn to be _not_
changeable on writes, then what about just converting the
dwmac5_fpe_configure() and dwmac5_fpe_send_mpacket() methods to always
writing to the MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS register, and if required preserve the
shadow control MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS flags in the stmmac_fpe_cfg structure?
AFAICS the only flag which needs to be preserved is EFPE - "enable
FPE" flag.

Such implementation (if it's possible) shall be free from the _status_
flags race condition and won't require additional serializations. On
the contrary your suggestion AFAICS causes unresolved race condition
in here

> + value = readl(ioaddr + MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS) | fpe_cfg->staged_fpe_state;
> + fpe_cfg->staged_fpe_state = 0x0;

and here

> value = readl(ioaddr + MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS);
> + cfg->staged_fpe_state = value;

Depending on the IRQ handling and the task scheduling timing you may
end up with loosing the status flags anyway.

* Note I am not concerning here the MAC_FPE_CTRL_STS control flags
* race condition which AFAICS already exist in the current frame
* preemption code. See the configs performed in the open/close/suspend
* methods, in the link state change callbacks, in the worker task and
* in the FPE status IRQ handler. Control flag accesses don't look
* coherent there.
