Subject: [ 36/79] be2net: Fix to avoid hardware workaround when not needed

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

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

From: Sarveshwar Bandi <sarveshwar.bandi@...lex.com>

[ Upstream commit 52fe29e4bb614367c108b717c6d7fe5953eb7af3 ]

Hardware workaround requesting hardware to skip vlan insertion is necessary
only when umc or qnq is enabled. Enabling this workaround in other scenarios
could cause controller to stall.
