This looks great, a few nits below:

You usually don't want to limit the number of TX completion, if the
entire TX ring needs to be cleaned, you would want to allow that.

Do you really need to zero-out the prepending RX descriptor? Are not you
missing a write barrier here?

This is potentially inefficient, you already did a cache invalidation
for the RX descriptor here, you could be more efficient with just
invalidating the packet length, minus the descriptor length.

eth_type_trans() already assigns skb->dev = dev;

napi_complete_done() since you know how many packets you completed.

Likewise napi_schedule_irqoff() can be used here.
