Subject: [PATCH] sh_eth: fix TX buffer byte-swapping

For the little-endian SH771x kernels the driver has to byte-swap the RX/TX
buffers,  however yet unset physcial address from the TX descriptor is used
to call sh_eth_soft_swap(). Use 'skb->data' instead...

The patch is against Dave Miller's 'net.git' repo.
Although there have been no complaints during 4+ years of this being broken,
I  think it's  probably  worth queuing the patch for  the stable trees...
