Some of the chip-specific hw_start functions set bit TXCFG_AUTO_FIFO
in register TxConfig. The original patch changed the order of some
calls resulting in these changes being overwritten by
rtl_set_tx_config_registers() in rtl_hw_start(). This eventually
resulted in network stalls especially under high load.
Analyzing the chip-specific hw_start functions all chip version from
34, with the exception of version 39, need this bit set.
This patch moves setting this bit to rtl_set_tx_config_registers().
