That code block looks odd that way, but after staring at it for a minute,
it makes sense. Another way to do it that might read cleaner (and reduce
excessive tab indent levels) would be to add a 'bool errors', then:

        bool errors = false;
        ...
        if (priv->ule_skb) {
                errors = true;
                dev_kfree_skb(priv->ule_skb);
        }

        if (errors || priv->ule_sndu_remain) {
                dev->stats.rx_errors++;
                dev->stats.rx_frame_errors++;
        }

Is this *always* true? Your description says "...the remaining 2 or 3
bytes", indicating this could sometimes need to be +3. Is +0 also a
possibility?
