[PATCH net-next V2 7/8] net: fec: don't transfer ownership until descriptor write is complete

From: Troy Kisky <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-05 21:52:49
Also in: linux-arm-kernel
Subsystem: freescale imx / mxc fec driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Wei Fang, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

If you don't own it, you shouldn't write to it.
