The stmmac has the possibility to automatically strip the padding/FCS for IEEE 802.3 type frames. This feature is enabled conditionally. Therefore, the stmmac receive path has to have a determination logic whether the FCS has to be stripped in software or not. In fact, for DSA this ACS feature is disabled and the determination logic doesn't check for it properly. For instance, when using DSA in combination with an older stmmac (pre version 4), the FCS is not stripped by hardware or software which is problematic. So either add another check for DSA to the fast path or simply disable ACS feature completely. The latter approach has been chosen, because most of the time the FCS is stripped in software anyway and it removes conditionals from the receive fast path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
