use it for the Rx IP-payload error statistics. Here is the definition
of the IPCE flag (part of the RDES4 descriptor field) cited from the
Synopsys DW QoS Eth v5 HW-manual:
Bit Name Description
7 IPCE IP Payload Error
When this bit is set, it indicates either of the following:
■ The 16-bit IP payload checksum (that is, the TCP, UDP, or ICMP checksum) calculated by the
MAC does not match the corresponding checksum field in the received segment.
■ The TCP, UDP, or ICMP segment length does not match the payload length value in the IP Header
field.
■ The TCP, UDP, or ICMP segment length is less than minimum allowed segment length for TCP,
UDP, or ICMP.
It almost word-by-word matches to what is defined for the
ERDES4_IP_PAYLOAD_ERR flag (part of the Extended RDES4 descriptor
field) in DW GMAC v3.x HW-manual for which the
stmmac_stats::ip_payload_err field has been added in the first place.
Note the name of the flag in the descriptor matches to what is declared in
the stmmac_stats structure.
So based on that I don't see any problem with the patch except some
minor patch-log issues I mentioned in another message.
