Re-reading your feedback, you are right, sorry!

My question was based on the assumption that the driver is doing
correctly, which was wrong.

Thank you and Eric for clarifying!

Eric's second (cumulative) patch works fine for now, and I can't
reproduce the issue. Will do more test runs now and will reply back
later with an updated patch set.

Is it sensible at this point to increase the TX buffers anyway? For
different reasons of course: We have enough SRAM available and TX
buffers (16->32) are still more than RX buffers (48).
