I looked at the source myself again, but I am not sure what you mean.
Do you mean to invalidate the cache, so a modification of the receive
descriptor is noticed by the CPU? This is done (inv() and wbinv()).

Or do you mean to reset the descriptor itself? This is also done in all
cases:
  rxd->xd0 = htole32(FRAMESIZE|CTL_DEFOPC|CTL_LS|CTL_FS|CTL_OWN);
