Subject: net: fec: Call swap_buffer() prior to IP header alignment
From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 235bde1ed3f0fff0f68f367ec8807b89ea151258 ]
Commit 3ac72b7b63d5 ("net: fec: align IP header in hardware") breaks
networking on mx28.
There is an erratum on mx28 (ENGR121613 - ENET big endian mode
not compatible with ARM little endian) that requires an additional
byte-swap operation to workaround this problem.
So call swap_buffer() prior to performing the IP header alignment
to restore network functionality on mx28.
Fixes: 3ac72b7b63d5 ("net: fec: align IP header in hardware")
