This is the second iteration of the patches sent yesterday. Per
Maxime's request, I have squashed them into one single patch, and
applied most of the suggestion he made.

As far as only clearing the interrupt _after_ draining the FIFO, I
found that we usually get one extra Rx interrupt per burst if we do
this, so I left the comment in.

As I've pointed out previously, this interrupt is PITA, as it triggers
an IRQ storm if enabled without much thought. I found that
(tx_len > SUN4I_FIFO_DEPTH) is the best check for when it's safe to
enable this interrupt.
