Subject: net: dsa: Discard frames from unused ports
From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fc5f33768cca7144f8d793205b229d46740d183b ]
The Marvell switches under some conditions will pass a frame to the
host with the port being the CPU port. Such frames are invalid, and
should be dropped. Not dropping them can result in a crash when
incrementing the receive statistics for an invalid port.
