[v4] net/bnxt: fix crash after port stop/start
Checks
Commit Message
On chips like Thor, port stop/start sequence could result in a crash
in the application. This is because of false detection of a bad
opaque in the Rx completion and the subsequent kicking-in of the ring
reset code to recover from the condition.
The root cause being that the port stop/start would result in the HW
starting with fresh values, while the driver internal tracker variable
`rx_next_cons` is still pointing to a stale value.
Fix this by resetting rx_next_cons to 0 in bnxt_init_one_rx_ring()
