4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hamish Martin <hamish.martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7bff47da1ee23d00d1257905f2944c29594f799d ] After commit 15bf176db1fb ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser"), 'TSEC' model controllers (for example as seen on MPC8541E) always have 8 bytes stripped from the front of received frames. Only 'eTSEC' gianfar controllers have the RX Filer capability (amongst other enhancements). Previously this was treated as always enabled for both 'TSEC' and 'eTSEC' controllers. In commit 15bf176db1fb ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser") a subtle change was made to the setting of 'uses_rxfcb' to effectively always set it (since 'rx_filer_enable' was always true). This had the side-effect of always stripping 8 bytes from the front of received frames on 'TSEC' type controllers. We now only enable the RX Filer capability on controller types that support it, thereby avoiding the issue for 'TSEC' type controllers.
