Following oops was seen with the ucc_geth driver:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000058
Faulting instruction address: 0xc024f2fc
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
[...]
NIP [c024f2fc] skb_recycle_check+0x14/0x100
LR [e30aa0a4] ucc_geth_poll+0xd8/0x4e0 [ucc_geth_driver]
Call Trace:
[df857d50] [c000b03c] __ipipe_grab_irq+0x3c/0xa4 (unreliable)

[df857e60] [c00065cc] do_softirq+0xa0/0xac
[...]
This is because ucc_geth_tx() tries to process an empty queue when
queues are logically stopped. Stopping the queues doesn't disable
polling, and since nowadays ucc_geth_tx() is actually called from
the polling routine, the oops above might pop up.
Fix this by removing 'netif_queue_stopped() == 0' check.
