Sorry, forgot the changelog:
v4:
* Set FTMAC100_MACCR_RX_FTL depending on the "mtu > 1500" condition.
* DSA tagging seems unrelated to the issue - updated description and a
code comment accordingly.

v3:
* Corrected the explanation of the problem: datasheet is correct.
* Rewrote the code to use the currently set mtu to handle DSA frames.

v2:
* Typos in description fixed.
