[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: stmmac: DMA address handling fixes

Update jumbo_frm() (implemented in both "chain_mode.c" and "ring_mode.c")
to ensure DMA errors don't get lost due to casting the result to an
integer of the wrong size.  This was a Sashiko suggestion.

In addition, add explicit calls to lower_32_bits() to DMA addresses
before they are passed to cpu_to_le32(), to guarantee the type of
the converted value is u32.

Maxime implied that a new version the first patch could handle both
fixes, but I thought it better to do them separately.
