Re: [PATCH] Comments in the titan ethernet driver for IP header alignment

Hi Manish,

register 0x103c is not documented in any but the newest version of
the processor's user manual, and the function documented there has
_nothing_ to do with header alignment. So either the docs are wrong,
or the register implements both the documented and undocumented
functions. In this case, however, the code would be wrong because it
permanently modifies the register's contents, which could screw up
packet priority processing.
