This I can reproduce. It seems it's a long standing bug that
becomes easily reproducible with quiesce/activate sequence.
The driver doesn't handle empty queue correctly, i.e. it ignores
the empty queue check if netdev queue is stopped, which makes no
sense.

Can you try this patch in addition to previous (i.e. both should
be applied)?

Thanks!
