pch_gbe_clean_rx() should be given the "napi_struct" pointer
argument from it's caller, and packets should be given to the
stack using napi_gro_receive().  Finally, NETIF_F_GRO should
be set in netdev->flags at probe time.

Also, you should not use the return value of netif_receive_skb() to
bump the standard rx_dropped statistics value, those return code are
for other purposes.  No other driver does what you are doing with this
return value.

If you wish to increment some extended stastic value (like
drivers/net/gianfar.c does) with another name, that's fine.
