Subject: [20/70] gianfar: Fall back to software tcp/udp checksum on older controllers

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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


From: Alex Dubov <oakad@...oo.com>

[ Upstream commit 4363c2fddb1399b728ef21ee8101c148a311ea45 ]

As specified by errata eTSEC49 of MPC8548 and errata eTSEC12 of MPC83xx,
older revisions of gianfar controllers will be unable to calculate a TCP/UDP
packet checksum for some alignments of the appropriate FCB. This patch checks
for FCB alignment on such controllers and falls back to software checksumming
if the alignment is known to be bad.
