[RFC][PATCH] LAN9211 and LAN9221 NFS mounting and overrun fix on omap LDP

[Subramani Venkatesh <subbu31mani@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I need your comment on the patch I generated on 2.6.27 Linux ARM for omap LDP.
With this patch we are able to mount the NFS even with heavy traffic
like ping -f option, without which NFS retrying and hangs.
I am not sure whether this problem is fixed with the new the kernel, I
need your comments whether we can intergrate with the kernel or not.

Subject: [PATCH] LAN9211 NFS bootup fix
 This patch fixs the problem of Mounting NFS file system, when there
is too much traffic on the Network.
 We still face the Overrun issues, but we still have NFS working.

NFS mounting issue is found on Omap LDP target boards.
