If you're dropping a packet you should somehow check that the previous
xmit didn't enqueue a packet to the ring and skip the doorbell because
door_bell was false. If that's the case you have to ring the doorbell now.

Also you shouldn't increment dropped if you return TX_BUSY.

Please fix these issues in the driver you're copying from, too.
