[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/2] net: fec_mxc: Adjust RX DMA alignment for mx6solox

mx6solox has a requirement for 64 bytes alignment for RX DMA transfer. Other SoCs work with the standard 32 bytes alignment.
Adjust it accordingly by using 64 bytes aligment in the FEC RX DMA buffers, which addresses the needs from mx6solox and also works for the other SoCs.

When testing the FEC driver on a mx6solox we noticed that the TDAR bit gets always cleared prior then the READY bit is set in the last BD, which causes FEC transmission to fail.
As explained by Ye Li:
"The TDAR bit is set when the descriptors are all out from TX ring, but the descriptor properly is in transmitting not READY. These are two signals, and in Ic simulation, we found the TDAR always clear prior than the READY bit of last BD. In mx6solox, we use a latest version of FEC IP. It looks the intrinsic behave of TDAR bit is changed in this FEC version, not any bug in mx6sx."
Fix this by polling the READY bit of BD after the TDAR polling, which covers the mx6solox case and does not harm for the other SoCs.

This will never work, because you never invalidate the memory over the DMA descriptor here.
break;

And here you invalidate it for no reason ;-)

Isn't MX6SX ARMv7 with 64-byte cacheline alignment anyway ? So isn't there something completely else broken on MX6SX ?

Thanks for the review, Marek.
Inspecting this further I think the correct fix would be:
