>   transmission from a SQ comes to a halt. This is fixed
>   by using barriers and also added a check for SQ free descriptors,
>   incase SQ is stopped and there are only CQE_RX i.e no CQE_TX.
> - Contrary to an assumption, a HW errata where HW doesn't stop transmission
>   even though there are not enough CQEs available for a CQE_TX is
>   not fixed in T88 pass 2.x. This results in a Qset error with
>   'CQ_WR_FULL' stalling transmission. This is fixed by adjusting
>   RXQ's  RED levels for CQ level such that there is always enough
>   space left for CQE_TXs.

Applied, thanks.
