As requested, I am commenting the issue reported by Sashiko on this patch:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260420-airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue-fix-v2-0-d99347e5c18d%40kernel.org

- Does this code leave a regression in the TX path by omitting the equivalent fix?
  This issue is not related to this patch and already fixed here:
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20260417-airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue-fix-net-v4-1-e04bcc2c9642@kernel.org/
