[PATCH net] net: mvpp2: allocate zeroed tx descriptors
From: Antoine Tenart
Date: Thu Nov 30 2017 - 04:50:17 EST
From: Yan Markman <ymarkman@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Reserved and unused fields in the Tx descriptors should be 0. The PPv2
driver doesn't clear them at run-time (for performance reasons) but
these descriptors aren't zeroed when allocated, which can lead to
unpredictable behaviors. This patch fixes this by using
dma_zalloc_coherent instead of dma_alloc_coherent.
Fixes: 3f518509dedc ("ethernet: Add new driver for Marvell Armada 375 network unit")
