This further leads to continue sending data out from MAC even there is no traffic at Avalon®-ST on TX FIFO. This problem would still happen when the mode change is made after SW_RESET is successful, provided the TX block is still transmitting data.
The following patch provides a solution to make sure Triple Speed Ethernet IP MegaCore® incorporates TX data transmission status in SW_RESET process. Now SW_RESET can only be complete when TX data and RX data transmission are stopped, avoiding conflict with mode change.
