Subject: [PATCH 4.13 04/35] net: systemport: Correct IPG length settings

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

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

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit 93824c80bf47ebe087414b3a40ca0ff9aab7d1fb ]

Due to a documentation mistake, the IPG length was set to 0x12 while it
should have been 12 (decimal). This would affect short packet (64B
typically) performance since the IPG was bigger than necessary.

Fixes: 44a4524c54af ("net: systemport: Add support for SYSTEMPORT Lite")
