[ Upstream commit c2945c435c999c63e47f337bc7c13c98c21d0bcc ]
Some DSA tagging protocols change the EtherType field in the MAC header
e.g. DSA_TAG_PROTO_(DSA/EDSA/BRCM/MTK/RTL4C_A/SJA1105). On TX these tagged
frames are ignored by the checksum offload engine and IP header checker of
some stmmac cores.
On RX, the stmmac driver wrongly assumes that checksums have been computed
for these tagged packets, and sets CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
Add an additional check in the stmmac TX and RX hotpaths so that COE is
deactivated for packets with ethertypes that will not trigger the COE and
IP header checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
