Rx URB length was already checked in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback_legacy() and ipheth_rcvbulk_callback_ncm(), depending on the current mode. The check in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback() was thus mostly a duplicate. The only place in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback() where we care about the URB length is for the initial control frame. These frames are always 4 bytes long. This has been checked as far back as iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3G. Remove the extraneous URB length check. For control frames, check for the specific 4-byte length instead.
