Before, encx24j600_rx_packets did not update encx24j600_priv's next_packet
member when an error occurred during packet handling (either because the
packet's RSV header indicates an error or because the encx24j600_receive_packet
method can't allocate an sk_buff).
If the next_packet member is not updated, the ERXTAIL register will be set to
the same value it had before, which means the bad packet remains in the
component's memory and its RSV header will be read again when a new packet
arrives. If the RSV header indicates a bad packet or if sk_buff allocation
continues to fail, new packets will be stored in the component's memory until
that memory is full, after which packets will be dropped.
The SETPKTDEC command is always executed though, so the encx24j600 hardware has
an incorrect count of the packets in its memory.
To prevent this, the next_packet member should always be updated, allowing the
packet to be skipped (either because it's bad, as indicated in its RSV header,
or because allocating an sk_buff failed). In the allocation failure case, this
does mean dropping a valid packet, but dropping the oldest packet to keep as
much memory as possible available for new packets seems preferable to keeping
old (but valid) packets around while dropping new ones.

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

a trans_start struct member exists twice:
- in struct net_device (legacy)
- in struct netdev_queue
Instead of open-coding dev->trans_start usage to obtain the current
trans_start value, use dev_trans_start() instead.
This is not exactly the same, as dev_trans_start also considers
the trans_start values of the netdev queues owned by the device
and provides the most recent one.
For legacy devices this doesn't matter as dev_trans_start can cope
with netdev trans_start values of 0 (they are ignored).
This is a prerequisite to eventual removal of dev->trans_start.

When encx24j600 is open and closed many times due to userspace polling the
interface, the log gets noise with this log message.
Moving this to encx24j600_spi_probe function where it belongs.

The driver Kconfig symbol is tristate which means that it can be built as
a module but the module alias information is not added to the module info
so module autoload won't work since user-space won't have the information.

A driver's SPI id table is expected to be an array of struct spi_device_id
that ends with a zero-initialized sentinel entry. But this driver defines
the table as a single struct spi_device_id and sets .id_table to a pointer
to this struct.
But spi_match_id() has a loop that iterates while the struct spi_device_id
.name[0] is not NULL, so not having a sentinel can cause a NULL pointer
deference error.
This patch defines the SPI id table correctly as all other SPI drivers do.

This fixes the mask used to update the LED configuration so that it clears
the necessary bits as well as setting the bits according to the mask.
Also reverse the LED configuration to show the Link state + collisions in
LEDA and the Link state + TX/RX events in LEDB.
