Sure I will fix them in the v4

yes I will send it in a separate set for net-next.

thx a lot for having tested it.

so on your side, this revert fixes the issue and you do not see any
tx watchdog as Tomeu's raised.

I have fixed some problems on top of
"stmmac: first frame prep at the end of xmit ..." please
see patch attached for net-next.

Indeed, the normal tx descriptors are well filled w/o
"stmmac: first frame prep at the end of xmit ..."

I wonder if you could try the attachment in order to understand if we
have to  actually revert the patch (I ask you to not revert the
patch "stmmac: first frame...").

I cannot test on an HW with Normal descriptors, unfortunately.
I am continuing to review the code to try to find other issues
on this configuration.

Let me know.

Subject: [PATCH (net-next.git)] stmmac: fix TX normal DESC

This patch is to fix the normal descriptor that has
a broken len and the OWN bit never set.
