This patch breaks several functions into RX and TX scopes, which
will be useful when adding multiple buffers mechanism.

You seem to be transitioning to "RX" and "TX" everywhere, maybe do the
same in this comment for consistency?

Also, on a general note: there's no need for "Description:" here. The
kerneldoc format mandates that you leave a blank line after the block
of parameter descriptions, and the paragraph that follows becomes the
description. I know that these are static functions and are therefore
not parsed by kerneldoc, but since you already use the syntax anyway,
you might as well get it right.

Same here. There are a couple of other such occurrences throughout the
file. This already exists in many places in the driver, so I don't think
this needs to be changed. Or at least it could be a follow-up patch.

If this operates on a single buffer, as specified by the buffer index,
maybe this should be named singular stmmac_free_rx_buffer()?

The index could be unsigned.

That comment already exists in init_dma_rx_desc_rings(). And even there
it doesn't provide any useful information, so might as well drop it.

Same here.

And here.

None of the above comments are critical and this could be cleaned up in
follow-up patches, so:

It also doesn't break on Tegra186, so
