macb_interrupt() defers TX completion handling to NAPI, but when it
schedules the poll it only masks TCOMP, even though TXUBR is enabled
alongside it (both are part of MACB_TX_INT_FLAGS). macb_tx_poll() is
asymmetric in the same way and only re-enables TCOMP. TXUBR is thus
left unmasked while responsibility for handling it has been deferred
to NAPI.
So this is not a race condition, this is always a failure?
As far as in understand it: yes
