What is the (u16) cast for?
The domain of both tx_pkt_offset and rx_pkt_length is 16bits.
Their sum is of type 'int', masking skb->len to 16 bits just
discards high bits (which are probably zero).

The second test should probably be:
	rx_pkt_offset + sizeof(*rx_pkt_hdr) > skb->len
although the first test includes the 'offset > len' check.
