Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] via-rhine: fix VLAN receive handling regression.

From: Andrej Ota <andrej@....si>

Because eth_type_trans() consumes ethernet header worth of bytes, a call
to read TCI from end of packet using rhine_rx_vlan_tag() no longer works
as it's reading from an invalid offset.

Tested to be working on PCEngines Alix board.

Fixes: 810f19bcb862 ("via-rhine: add consistent memory barrier in vlan receive code.")
Signed-off-by: Andrej Ota <andrej@....si>
Acked-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@...zoreil.com>

 Applies fine as of 0f8b8e28fb3241f9fd82ce13bac2b40c35e987e0
 ("tipc: eliminate risk of stalled link synchronization").

 Andrej posted it on l-k the 2015/10/04, see
 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=144398918324349

 Kernel v4.2 exhibits the regression. Stable v4.[01] kernels don't.
