Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] net/cdc_ncm: Enable ZLP for DisplayLink ethernet devices

From: Dominik Czerwik <dominik.czerwik@...aptics.com>

This improves performance and stability of
DL-3xxx/DL-5xxx/DL-6xxx device series.

Specifically prevents device from temporary network dropouts when
playing video from the web and network traffic going through is high.
