Better to use stmmac_rx_offset() so to have the correct length when
using XDP. Also, when XDP is enabled, the offset was
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM (i.e. 256 bytes) even before the change, so it
could be already broken. Mark, can you try on the Jetson TX2 by
attaching an XDP program and see if it works without my change?

A possible fix, which takes in account also the XDP headroom for
stmmac_rx_buf1_len() only could be (only compile tested, I don't have
the hardware now):
