The DM9000A network controller does not work with the U-boot DM9000x driver.
Analysis showed that many incoming packets are lost.
The DM9000A Application Notes V1.20 (section 5.6.1) recommend that the poll to
check for a valid rx packet be done on the interrupt status register, not
directly by performing the dummy read and the rx status check as is currently
the case in the u-boot driver.
When the recommended poll is done as suggested the driver starts working
correctly on 10Mbit/HD, but on 100MBit/FD packets come in faster so that there
can be more than 1 package in the fifo at the same time.
The driver must perform the rx-status check in a loop and read and handle all
packages until there is no more left _after_ the interrupt RX flag is set.
This change has been tested with DM9000A, DM9000E, DM9000EP.
