[PATCH net v2] net: ag71xx: re-enable TX interrupts on RX OOM

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 22:02:15 EST


When the RX ring runs out of buffers the OOM path calls
napi_complete() but does not re-enable interrupts. Because
INT_POLL masks both RX and TX events, TX completions are
blocked until the OOM timer fires (~100 ms), which can cause
TX ring exhaustion and dropped packets.

Restore TX interrupt delivery so the engine can drain completed
descriptors while NAPI waits for RX buffer memory.
