Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: Fix tx/rx malfunction after phy link down and up

In commit 99537d5c476c ("net: macb: Relocate mog_init_rings() callback
from macb_mac_link_up() to macb_open()"), the mog_init_rings() callback
was moved from macb_mac_link_up() to macb_open() to resolve a deadlock
issue. However, this change introduced a tx/rx malfunction following
phy link down and up events. The issue arises from a mismatch between
the software queue->tx_head, queue->tx_tail, queue->rx_prepared_head,
and queue->rx_tail values and the hardware's internal tx/rx queue
pointers.

According to the Zynq UltraScale TRM [1], when tx/rx is disabled, the
internal tx queue pointer resets to the value in the tx queue base
address register, while the internal rx queue pointer remains unchanged.
The following is quoted from the Zynq UltraScale TRM:
  When transmit is disabled, with bit [3] of the network control register
  set low, the transmit-buffer queue pointer resets to point to the address
  indicated by the transmit-buffer queue base address register. Disabling
  receive does not have the same effect on the receive-buffer queue
  pointer.

Additionally, there is no need to reset the RBQP and TBQP registers in a
phy event callback. Therefore, move macb_init_buffers() to macb_open().
In a phy link up event, the only required action is to reset the tx
software head and tail pointers to align with the hardware's behavior.
