sky2: prevent dual port receiver problems
When both ports are receiving simultaneously, the receive logic gets confused and may pass up a packet before it is full. This causes hangs, and IP will see lots of garbage packets. There is even the potential for data corruption if a later arriving packet DMA's into freed memory. It looks like a hardware bug because status arrives for a packet but no data is there. Until this bug is worked out, block the user from bringing up both ports at once. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
