Thanks fo the suggestion.
There's no plan to add more code after this as per STMMAC features that
required this interrupt. I will flip the condition.

Good point! Thanks for pointing that out. I looked at how STMMAC
interrupt handlers are coded, and indeed there are no tracking. Will
work on that and send as a seperate patch in near future.
