Subject: add "net: fec: Allow reception of frames bigger than 1522 bytes" to
 stable

Hello,

on an 4.9.x kernel using the freescale/fec driver "behind" a switch I
had problems with packet reception.

Commit fbbeefdd2104 ("net: fec: Allow reception of frames bigger than
1522 bytes") fixed it for me and so I suggest to queue that one for
stable. It can be cherry-picked to 4.9.x without conflict and IMHO
should be applied to all stable branches before v4.14.

Best regards
Uwe
