From: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit a24b4b2f660b7ddf3f484b37600bba382cb28a9d upstream. The gsm_mux field 'malformed' represents the number of malformed frames received. However, gsm1_receive() also increases this counter for any out of frame byte. Fix this by ignoring out of frame data for the malformed counter.
