You are doing a lot of things, all at once, and you should consider 
extracting your change into a smaller subset with bug fixes first:

- one commit which writes to the RBQPH the upper 32-bits of the RX ring 
DMA address, that looks like a bug fix

- one commit which retriggers a buffer read, even though that appears to 
be RP1 specific maybe, if not, then this is also a bug fix

- one commit that adds support for macb_shutdown() to kill DMA operations

- one commit which adds support for a configurable PHY reset line + 
delay specified in milli seconds

- one commit which adds support for controling the interrupt coalescing 
settings

And then you can add all of the RP1 specific bits like the AXI bridge 
configuration.

The delay cannot be negative, so this needs to be unsigned int.

Why do we need to increase how frequently we poll?
