That is correct. As u-boot is a bootloader and no os, everything can be
done in a single task and polling is used when it is needed.

It seems to me that the driver goes out from receive function when no
data are available. pkn_cnt is read directly from HW, and if the
controller is not broken, it will not return any packets and the loop
ends up.
