Subject: [PATCH 3.16 27/55] tg3: Work around HW/FW limitations with vlan encapsulated frames

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

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

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevich@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 476c18850c6cbaa3f2bb661ae9710645081563b9 ]

TG3 appears to have an issue performing TSO and checksum offloading
correclty when the frame has been vlan encapsulated (non-accelrated).
In these cases, tcp checksum is not correctly updated.

This patch attempts to work around this issue.  After the patch,
802.1ad vlans start working correctly over tg3 devices.
