If the DesignWare MAC is synthesised with MMC RX IPC Counter, an unmanaged
and unacknowledged interrupt is generated after some time of operation. To
my knowledge there is no way to autodetect this configuration.

This patch adds a Kconfig option to tell the driver about the counter which
in turn masks the undesired interrupts.

Hello Guiseppe,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll send a new patch shortly which
unconditionally masks the interrupts as you suggest. The mask register
does not exist in DWMACs without RX IPC counters, however, and I have no
way of testing if accessing this register nevertheless generates a bus
error. Do you have hardware to verify if everything works fine even
without RX IPC counters before integrating the patch?

Greetings,
  Christian

Tests done on two boards and no issue on my side
