When running this chip on arm imx6, we intermittently observe
the following kernel warning in the log, especially when the
system is under high load:

The driver is calling dev_kfree_skb() from code inside a spinlock,
where h/w interrupts are disabled. This is forbidden, as documented
in include/linux/netdevice.h. The correct function to use
dev_kfree_skb_irq(), or dev_kfree_skb_any().
Fix by using the correct dev_kfree_skb_xxx() functions:
in lan743x_tx_release_desc():
called by lan743x_tx_release_completed_descriptors()
called by in lan743x_tx_napi_poll()
which holds a spinlock
called by lan743x_tx_release_all_descriptors()
called by lan743x_tx_close()
which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb_any()
in lan743x_tx_xmit_frame():
which holds a spinlock
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb_irq()
in lan743x_tx_close():
which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb()
in lan743x_rx_release_ring_element():
called by lan743x_rx_close()
which can-sleep
called by lan743x_rx_open()
which can-sleep
conclusion: use dev_kfree_skb()
