Broadcom tags inserted by Broadcom switches put a 4 byte header after the MAC SA and before the EtherType, which may look like some sort of 0 length LLC/SNAP packet (tcpdump and wireshark do think that way). With ACS enabled in stmmac the packets were truncated to 8 bytes on reception, whereas clearing this bit allowed normal reception to occur. In order to make that possible, we need to pass a net_device argument to the different core_init() functions and we are dependent on the Broadcom tagger padding packets correctly (which it now does). To be as little invasive as possible, this is only done for gmac1000 when the network device is DSA-enabled (netdev_uses_dsa() returns true).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
