After sonic_tx_timeout() calls sonic_init(), it can happen that
sonic_rx() will subsequently encounter a receive descriptor with no
flags set. Remove the comment that says that this can't happen.

When giving a receive descriptor to the SONIC, clear the descriptor
status field. That way, any rx descriptor with flags set can only be
a newly received packet.

Don't process a descriptor without the LPKT bit set. The buffer is
still in use by the SONIC.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
