-This is a pre-existing issue, but while reviewing the WDMA ring reset logic,
 I noticed what looks like reversed logic in mtk_wdma_rx_reset():
 drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_wed.c:mtk_wdma_rx_reset() {
 	...
 	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(dev->rx_wdma); i++) {
 		if (dev->rx_wdma[i].desc)
 			continue;
 		wdma_w32(dev,
 			 MTK_WDMA_RING_RX(i) + MTK_WED_RING_OFS_CPU_IDX, 0);
 	}
 	...
 }
 Does the if (dev->rx_wdma[i].desc) continue; check skip the CPU_IDX reset for
 active rings?
 When a WDMA RX reset occurs (e.g., during recovery from a hang), the hardware
 index is reset to 0, but the CPU_IDX register won't be reset for active rings
 since they have a non-NULL desc.
 Could this desynchronize the driver and hardware, leading to a permanent stall
 of the WDMA RX rings and network traffic failure?
 - ACK I will add a patch addressing this.
