+Subject: net/ps3_gelic: Fix RX DMA restart
+
+Fix the condition where PS3 network RX hangs when no network
+TX is occuring by calling gelic_card_enable_rxdmac() during
+RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event processing.
+
+The gelic hardware automatically clears its RX_DMA_EN flag when
+it detects an RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event.  In its processing of
+RX_DMA_CHAIN_END the gelic driver is required to set RX_DMA_EN
+(with a call to gelic_card_enable_rxdmac()) to restart RX DMA
+transfers.  The existing gelic driver code does not set
+RX_DMA_EN directly in its processing of the RX_DMA_CHAIN_END
+event, but uses a flag variable card->rx_dma_restart_required
+to schedule the setting of RX_DMA_EN until next inside the
+interrupt handler.
+
+It seems this delayed setting of RX_DMA_EN causes the hang since
+the next RX interrupt after the RX_DMA_CHAIN_END event where
+RX_DMA_EN is scheduled to be set will not occur since RX_DMA_EN
+was not set.  In the case were network TX is occuring, RX_DMA_EN
+is set in the next TX interrupt and RX processing continues.
