Yeah, it works on my side as well. Thanks for following up.

I would argue that the above snippet should be a fixup for the
"net: enetc: fix the issues of XDP_REDIRECT feature" change, and a
rewrite of the commit message is in order. Currently, as a reader, I get
the impression that only XDP_REDIRECT needs to check the ENETC_TX_DOWN
flag, only for the next patch to come and say "remember what was said
about the TX ring not being allowed to actively transmit frames while
disabling it? well, that patch wasn't sufficient to ensure this condition,
because XDP_TX needs to respect that flag as well!"
