That's the point. The RX parser seems to be affected by the tail
tag. I'll have a look at the packets with ACS feature set.

Well, I don't see much of a difference. However, running iperf3 with
small packets is nowhere near line rate of 100Mbit/s. Nevertheless, I
like the following patch more, because it looks cleaner than adding more
checks to the receive path. It fixes my problem. Florian's use case
should also work.

Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: Disable automatic FCS/Pad stripping
The stmmac has the possibility to automatically strip the padding/FCS for IEEE
802.3 type frames. This feature is enabled conditionally. Therefore, the stmmac
receive path has to have a determination logic whether the FCS has to be
stripped in software or not.
In fact, for DSA this ACS feature is disabled and the determination logic
doesn't check for it properly. For instance, when using DSA in combination with
an older stmmac (pre version 4), the FCS is not stripped by hardware or software
which is problematic.
So either add another check for DSA to the fast path or simply disable ACS
feature completely. The latter approach has been chosen, because most of the
time the FCS is stripped in software anyway and it removes conditionals from the
receive fast path.
