Above ntc is initialised as rx_ring->next_to_clean.
And cached_ntc is initialised as ntc, i.e. rx_ring->next_to_clean.

	u32 ntc = rx_ring->next_to_clean;
        ...
        u32 cached_ntc = ntc;

So in effect we have:

	if (rx_ring->next_to_clean != rx_ring->first_desc)
		cached_ntc = rx_ring->first_desc;
	else
		cached_ntc = rx_ring->next_to_clean;

I wonder if we can simplify this by simply initialising cached_ntc as:

	cached_ntc = rx_ring->first_desc;
