For some reason on Armada 3720 boards (EspressoBin and Turris Mox) the networking driver behaves weirdly when using napi_gro_receive.
For example downloading a big file from a local network (low ping) is fast, but when downloading from a remote server (higher ping), the download speed is at first high but drops rapidly to almost nothing or absolutely nothing. This is fixed when using netif_receive_skb instead of napi_gro_receive.
