Subject: [PATCH] sky2: fix receive length error in mixed non-VLAN/VLAN
traffic
Bug: The VLAN bit of the MAC RX Status Word is unreliable in several older
supported chips. Sometimes the VLAN bit is not set for valid VLAN packets
and also sometimes the VLAN bit is set for non-VLAN packets that came after
a VLAN packet. This results in a receive length error when VLAN hardware
tagging is enabled.
Fix: The driver uses only VLAN information included in VLAN status list elements,
that signals that the VLAN tag field is valid. It must ignore the VLAN bit in the
MAC RX Status Word. An additional variable set when evaluating the VLAN opcodes
is used to indicate that the received packet is a VLAN packet and a packet length
correction (subtraction of VLAN header length) must be done.
This is an alternative to Mirko's patch that relies on the new method of
encoding VLAN tag, and therefore means extra code can be removed.
Testing: Tested with regular and VLAN traffic on 88E8056, but this chip
does not have the bug, just proves that the alternative method of handling
VLAN tag will work.
