>>Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: Don't enable RX Filer if not supported
>>
>>After commit 15bf176db1fb ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the
>>Parser"), 'TSEC' model controllers (for example as seen on MPC8541E)
>>always have 8 bytes stripped from the front of received frames.
>>Only 'eTSEC' gianfar controllers have the RX Filer capability (amongst

>>In commit 15bf176db1fb ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser")
>>a subtle change was made to the setting of 'uses_rxfcb' to effectively
>>always set it (since 'rx_filer_enable' was always true). This had the
>>side-effect of always stripping 8 bytes from the front of received frames
>>on 'TSEC' type controllers.
>>
>>We now only enable the RX Filer capability on controller types that
>>support it, thereby avoiding the issue for 'TSEC' type controllers.
