commit c0f4b163a03e73055dd734eaca64b9580e72e7fb upstream.

This is a follow on to commit b10effb92e27 ("fix buffer overrun while the
 I219 is processing DMA transactions") to address David Laights concerns
about the use of "magic" numbers.  So define masks as well as add
additional code comments to give a better understanding of what needs to
be done to avoid a buffer overrun.
