Atmel SAM family GMAC Ethernet driver is implementing zero-copy
networking. As a result it has to reserve a defined amount of RX
data net buffers before bringing up the interface. Since net buffer
pool is initialized by the network stack and this driver was bringing
the interface up in its initialization function the driver initialization
was performed, as a workaround, after network stack initialization. It
is not a clean solution. This patch fixes this by bringing the
interface up in interface initialization function. The driver itself
can now be initialized before the network stack is.
Tested on Atmel SMART SAM E70 Xplained board
