> commit 1b7bde6d659d ("net: fec: implement rx_copybreak to improve rx performance")
> introduced a regression for i.MX28. The swap_buffer() function doing
> the endian conversion of the received data on i.MX28 may access memory
> beyond the actual packet size in the DMA buffer. fec_enet_copybreak()
> does not copy those bytes, so that the last bytes of a packet may be
> filled with invalid data after swapping.
> This will likely lead to checksum errors on received packets.
> E.g. when trying to mount an NFS rootfs:
> UDP: bad checksum. From 192.168.1.225:111 to 192.168.100.73:44662 ulen 36

> Do the byte swapping and copying to the new skb in one go if

This will probably benefit from being unrolled slightly.
Neither 'dst' nor the return value is used.

It has to be better to set the 'copybreak' limit to be larger than the
maximum frame size and so always go through the 'copybreak' paths.
