net: mvneta: fix handling of the Tx descriptor counter The mvneta controller provides a 8-bit register to update the pending Tx descriptor counter. Then, a maximum of 255 Tx descriptors can be added at once. In the current code the mvneta_txq_pend_desc_add function assumes the caller takes care of this limit. But it is not the case. In some situations (xmit_more flag), more than 255 descriptors are added. When this happens, the Tx descriptor counter register is updated with a wrong value, which breaks the whole Tx queue management. This patch fixes the issue by allowing the mvneta_txq_pend_desc_add function to process more than 255 Tx descriptors.
