Yes, I know that. I still have no clue and can't explain how
r222135 can break gem(4). Also note, the "cannot disable RX MAC"
was there before r222135.
One vague guess I have at this moment is that firmware may have put
controller into some deep power save state so the first time
gem_init() is called it may not have fully initialized the
controller. I sent a patch to Justin to check that and waiting for
his reply.
