stmmac: troubleshoot unexpected bits in des0 & des1
Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:
[1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
it will be filled with garbage.
[2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
controller (for example error flags etc).
And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.
This change addresses both items above with:
[1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
this allocation only happens once on driver probe.
[2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
DMA transfer.
And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
counterpart as well.
