Hello,
I'm using kernel v4.9 on a dev board.
I built a small kernel + rootfs with buildroot 2016.11.1
eth0 is driven by drivers/net/ethernet/aurora/nb8800.c
After booting, I just run udhcpc (busybox version)
Then I set the link down, and the kernel hangs.
Here's the console output:
[ 1.116707] Freeing unused kernel memory: 3072K (c0600000 - c0900000)

Looks like the kernel is wedged in nb8800_mac_tx.
static void nb8800_mac_tx(struct net_device *dev, bool enable)
{
struct nb8800_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev);
while (nb8800_readl(priv, NB8800_TXC_CR) & TCR_EN)
cpu_relax();
nb8800_modb(priv, NB8800_TX_CTL1, TX_EN, enable);
}

If I'm reading the exception stack correctly, the CPU was at c0310ad4,
i.e. it's stuck in the while loop.
Time for me to hit the data sheet, I guess :-(
While investigating this bug, I also hit a different symptom:
