You're right, the XGMAC TRM with me documents the same
sequence.

IMO this looks like a fix on its own as the current teardown logic
doesn't take care of any of this. The proper shutdown sequence is
a larger change that needs per-channel status polling and timeout
handling.

I'll remove the teardown change from v3 if that makes sense and keep
only the startup reorder addressing the RX hang.
