Agreed on the helper.  As on v2, I kept the fix minimal for net, and
will send the helper to net-next once this has reached it, with both
axienet_dma_bd_release() and axienet_dma_err_handler() using it.

Let's do this now, trying to keep fixes small is a bit of 
an anti-pattern

Out of curiosity, why is that an anti-pattern?

I'd think that small fixes are, in general, easier to backport to stable. Is this
more of procedural question - if the whole fix gets into net, it will get merged
into net-next by the end of the week anyway?
