net: fec: align IP header in hardware
The FEC receive accelerator (RACC) supports shifting the data payload of received packets by 16-bits, which aligns the payload (IP header) on a 4-byte boundary, which is, if not required, at least strongly suggested by the Linux networking layer. Without this patch, a huge number of alignment faults will be taken by the IP stack, as seen in /proc/cpu/alignment: ~/$ cat /proc/cpu/alignment User: 0 System: 72645 (inet_gro_receive+0x104/0x27c) Skipped: 0 Half: 0 Word: 0 DWord: 0 Multi: 72645 User faults: 3 (fixup+warn) This patch was suggested by Andrew Lunn in this message to linux-netdev: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=147465452108384&w=2 and adapted from a patch by Russell King from 2014: http://git.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/linux-arm.git/commit/?id=70d8a8a Signed-off-by: Eric Nelson <eric@nelint.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
