Is it useful to retry the NORXBUF case?

Perhaps this "if (status & FTMAC100_INT_NORXBUF)" block should be
moved into the test block above it before the retry?

It's possible to miss multiple states because of the ratelimit.

If multiple ISR status bits are possible, it might be better to
combine all netdev_info uses into a single call.

Something like:

	if ((status & (FTMAC100_INT_NORXBUF | FTMAC100_INT_RPKT_LOST |
		       FTMAC100_INT_AHB_ERR | FTMAC100_INT_PHYSTS_CHG)) &&
	    net_ratelimit())
		netdev_info(netdev, "ISR status: %x%s%s%s%s\n",
			    status & FTMAC100_INT_NORXBUF ? ": INT_NORXBUF" : "",
			    status & FTMAC100_INT_RPKT_LOST ? ": INT_RPKT_LOST" : "",
			    status & FTMAC100_INT_AHB_ERR ? ": INT_AHB_ERR" : "",
			    status & FTMAC100_INT_PHYSTS_CHG ? " : INT_PHYSTS_CHG" : "");
