The above statement isn't 100% clear to me.  Is this the intent?

  Currently, gfar_uses_fcb() calls gfar_is_vlan_on() which in turn
  checks NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX.  However there is no relation between
  whether FCBs are used and the VLAN transmit state.

The is_vlan_on() and uses_fcb() calls were more self documenting than
setting/clearing a new single use variable added to priv, I think.
Even if they get changed/simplified, perhaps it is worth keeping them?

Rather than a specific priv->uses_rxfcb field, perhaps it makes sense
to make it more future proof with priv->rctrl field, that is a cached
value of the register, and then you keep gfar_uses_fcb() and it in
turn checks for RCTRL_PRSDEP_INIT bit in rctrl?

Also, the dependency/conditional on FSL_GIANFAR_DEV_HAS_TIMER seems
to simply vanish with this patch, and it isn't clear to me if that
was 100% intentional or not...
