From bf08c34086d159edde5c54902dfa2caa4d9fbd8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2018 22:13:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: Move padding into Broadcom tagger Instead of having the different master network device drivers potentially used by DSA/Broadcom tags, move the padding necessary for the switches to accept short packets where it makes most sense: within tag_brcm.c. This avoids multiplying the number of similar commits to e.g: bgmac, bcmsysport, etc. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S.
