[ Upstream commit a154f8e399a063137fc42b961f437248d55ece29 ]
Reserved and unused fields in the Tx descriptors should be 0. The PPv2 driver doesn't clear them at run-time (for performance reasons) but these descriptors aren't zeroed when allocated, which can lead to unpredictable behaviors. This patch fixes this by using dma_zalloc_coherent instead of dma_alloc_coherent.
