Hi Cyrille,

Thanks for the rework, we solved this situation by moving the descriptors to
an internal RAM with lower latencies, we suspected our AHB-AXI bridge + DDR Controller
to delay the descriptor writes while the interrupt was handled in the meantime.
But the error case was still not handled.

Thanks,
Neil
