    In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm
    of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually
    do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link
    afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this.
    
    Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing
    done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to
    napi_enable().
    
    I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the
    initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call
    inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts
    subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break
    anything too obvious...
