[PATCH resend] net: mvneta: Fix big endian issue in mvneta_txq_desc_csum()

This commit fixes the command value generated for CSUM calculation
when running in big endian mode.  The Ethernet protocol ID for IP was
being unconditionally byte-swapped in the layer 3 protocol check (with
swab16), which caused the mvneta driver to not function correctly in
big endian mode.  This patch byte-swaps the ID conditionally with
htons.

The mvneta driver existed prior to v3.13, but it has only supported big
endian from v3.13 onward.  If it's accepted, this patch needs to be
backported for stable only as far back as v3.13.
