+Subject: bcm43xx: Drain TX status before starting IRQs
+
+From: Michael Buesch <mb at bu3sch.de>
+
+Drain the Microcode TX-status-FIFO before we enable IRQs.
+This is required, because the FIFO may still have entries left
+from a previous run. Those would immediately fire after enabling
+IRQs and would lead to an oops in the DMA TXstatus handling code.
