patch "staging: octeon: Drop on uncorrectable alignment or FCS error" added to staging-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: octeon: Drop on uncorrectable alignment or FCS error

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: octeon: Drop on uncorrectable alignment or FCS error

Currently in case of alignment or FCS error if the packet cannot be
corrected it's still not dropped. Report the error properly and drop the
packet while making the code around a little bit more readable.
