[PATCH 13/14] net: sh_eth: Workaround cache issues

From: Valentine Barshak <valentine.barshak at cogentembedded.com>

U-Boot writes to RX packets when constructing replies.
This can cause stale cached data to be written to RX
buffer while we're receiving a packet. This causes RX
packet corruption because we invalidate the cache right
before processing the packet. Invalidate packet buffer
cache when preparing RX descriptor as well. This seems
to fix RX packet drops with high RX traffic.

While at it flush the descriptors right before enabling
RX/TX in sh_eth_tx_desc_init/sh_eth_rx_desc_init callbacks
when they are ready instead of flushing after allocation.
