Subject: [173/262] ASIX: Use only 11 bits of header for data size

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@...il.com>

commit bca0beb9363f8487ac902931a50eb00180a2d14a upstream.

The AX88772B uses only 11 bits of the header for the actual size. The other bits
are used for something else. This causes dmesg full of messages:

	asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length

This patch trims the check to only 11 bits. I believe on older chips, the
remaining 5 top bits are unused.
