net: dp83640: Fix tx timestamp overflow handling.
PHY status frames are not reliable, the PHY may not be able to send them during heavy receive traffic. This overflow condition is signaled by the PHY in the next status frame, but the driver did not make use of it. Instead it always reported wrong tx timestamps to user space after an overflow happened because it assigned newly received tx timestamps to old packets in the queue. This commit fixes this issue by clearing the tx timestamp queue every time an overflow happens, so that no timestamps are delivered for overflow packets. This way time stamping will continue correctly after an overflow.
