This is a bit of a nitpick but do you think it would make sense to replace that 
"4" with a macro? Something like GMAC_RXQCTRL_PSRXQ_MAXCTRL2QUEUE?

I suppose that the order of these two writes are somehow important, else these 
could be factored out of the conditional block. Could you maybe add a short 
comment that explains why the order of these writes matter?
