[PATCH 2/2] ASIX: Use only 11 bits of header for data size

From: Marek Vasut
Date: Tue Jul 26 2011 - 22:45:10 EST


The AX88772B uses only 11 bits of the header for the actual size. The other bits
are used for something else. This causes dmesg full of messages:

asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length

This patch trims the check to only 11 bits. I believe on older chips, the
remaining 5 top bits are unused.

NOTE: If possible, can someone test/verify this patch with other ASIX chips ?
NOTE2: If Ack-ed, Greg, can you get this into -stable?
