    net: stmmac: Fix reception of Broadcom switches tags · 8cad443e

    Broadcom tags inserted by Broadcom switches put a 4 byte header after
    the MAC SA and before the EtherType, which may look like some sort of 0
    length LLC/SNAP packet (tcpdump and wireshark do think that way). With
    ACS enabled in stmmac the packets were truncated to 8 bytes on
    reception, whereas clearing this bit allowed normal reception to occur.
    
    In order to make that possible, we need to pass a net_device argument to
    the different core_init() functions and we are dependent on the Broadcom
    tagger padding packets correctly (which it now does). To be as little
    invasive as possible, this is only done for gmac1000 when the network
    device is DSA-enabled (netdev_uses_dsa() returns true).
