> This patch fixes an occasional transmit lockup in the mac-fcc which
> occurs after a tx error.  The test scenario had the local port set
> to autoneg and the other end fixed at 100FD, resulting in a large
> number of late collisions.
> 
> According to the MPC8280RM 30.10.1.3 (also 8272RM 29.10.1.3), after
> a tx error occurs, TBPTR may sometimes point beyond BDs still marked
> as ready.  This patch walks back through the BDs and points TBPTR to
> the earliest one marked as ready.
> 
> Tested on a custom board with a MPC8280.
