[PATCH] mv643xx_eth: Hold spinlocks only where needed
This driver has historically held a spin_lock during the entire open and stop functions and while receiving multiple packets. This is unecessarily long and holds locks during calls that may sleep. This patch reduces the size of windows where locks are held.
