commit f1590670ce069eefeb93916391a67643e6ad1630 upstream.

Current implementation of descriptor init procedure only takes
care about setting/clearing ownership flag in "des0"/"des1"
fields while it is perfectly possible to get unexpected bits
set because of the following factors:

 [1] On driver probe underlying memory allocated with
     dma_alloc_coherent() might not be zeroed and so
     it will be filled with garbage.

 [2] During driver operation some bits could be set by SD/MMC
     controller (for example error flags etc).

And unexpected and/or randomly set flags in "des0"/"des1"
fields may lead to unpredictable behavior of GMAC DMA block.

This change addresses both items above with:

 [1] Use of dma_zalloc_coherent() instead of simple
     dma_alloc_coherent() to make sure allocated memory is
     zeroed. That shouldn't affect performance because
     this allocation only happens once on driver probe.

 [2] Do explicit zeroing of both "des0" and "des1" fields
     of all buffer descriptors during initialization of
     DMA transfer.

And while at it fixed identation of dma_free_coherent()
counterpart as well.
