[PATCH (net-next.git) 12/18] stmmac: first frame prep at the end of xmit routine

2016-01-04 Thread Giuseppe Cavallaro
This patch is to fill the first descriptor just before granting the DMA engine so at the end of the xmit. The patch takes care about the algorithm adopted to mitigate the interrupts, then it fixes the last segment in case of no fragments. Moreover, this new implementation does not pass any "ter" fi
