I assume that the queue index is always 7 right? By return 7, the napi interface
'thinks' that your setup is using 8 TX queues which I assume it is not and thats
the problem causing your board to malfuntion.

Could you please check the values of the 'real' tx and rx queues count in this line?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c#n4107

For default they are =1, so napi should be assuming 1RX and 1TX, and so you
should be getting queue index =0 in reception and transmission.

In terms of reception, could you print the queue index that stmmac_poll is using
here:

This one was well caught! Although it has no influence in your setup, since you
don't have this callback implemented, eQOS (>= 4.00) and 1000 cores will have
issues if using PCS. I can make a patch for this one.

This one I have in my agenda to improve it, I also talked about it with Dan
Carpenter about it.
