Felipe Moura 88c8623ced xtensa/espressif: enable openeth RX interrupt, fix ifdown()'s TX/RX disable
esp_openeth_initialize() (arch/xtensa/src/common/espressif/esp_openeth.c)
attaches the MAC interrupt with esp_setup_irq() but never calls
up_enable_irq(OPENETH_IRQ_MAC), unlike every other Espressif driver in
this tree. Left masked, openeth_isr_handler() never runs and received
frames are only picked up when the netdev work thread happens to run
for some other reason (a transmit). A guest can therefore send but
effectively not receive: ping still works because each request is
itself a transmit, while a socket blocked in recvfrom() waits on a
wake-up that never comes.

Confirmed with a GDB breakpoint counter on openeth_isr_handler():
zero hits before the fix, dozens after, under QEMU's esp32s3 machine
(the open_eth NIC it emulates). With the interrupt enabled, TCP
retransmits over a fixed test window dropped from 86 to 4.

Separately, openeth_ifdown() calls openeth_enable() right under a
comment that says "Disable TX and RX" -- it should call
openeth_disable(), which is what actually disables the two DMA
descriptor rings. Fixed alongside since it's the same function and
the same class of mistake.

Board-independent (arch/xtensa/src/common/espressif), not specific
to any one esp32s3 board; open_eth itself only exists as a QEMU
peripheral, so there's no real-hardware regression risk from either
change.
