Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ucc_geth: Fix empty TX queue processing

From: Anton Vorontsov <[email-masked]>

Following oops was seen with the ucc_geth driver:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000058
 Faulting instruction address: 0xc024f2fc
 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
 [...]
 NIP [c024f2fc] skb_recycle_check+0x14/0x100
 LR [e30aa0a4] ucc_geth_poll+0xd8/0x4e0 [ucc_geth_driver]
 Call Trace:

 [df857e60] [c00065cc] do_softirq+0xa0/0xac
 [...]

This is because ucc_geth_tx() tries to process an empty queue when
queues are logically stopped. Stopping the queues doesn't disable
polling, and since nowadays ucc_geth_tx() is actually called from
the polling routine, the oops above might pop up.

Fix this by removing 'netif_queue_stopped() == 0' check.
