Actually, the second one is trivial, just modify gem_rxmac_interrupt()
as follow:

	if (rxmac_stat & MAC_RXSTAT_OFLW) {
		u32 smac = readl(gp->regs + MAC_SMACHINE);

		netdev_err(dev, "RX MAC fifo overflow smac[%08x]\n", smac);
		gp->net_stats.rx_over_errors++;
		gp->net_stats.rx_fifo_errors++;

-		ret = gem_rxmac_reset(gp);
+		ret = 1;
	}

And tell us if that makes a difference.

Cheers,
Ben.
