[PATCH v4] Add payload to be 32-bit aligned to fix dropped packets

[Denis Kirjanov <dkirjanov@suse.de>]

11/10/21 12:54 PM, Kumar Thangavel ?????:
> Update NC-SI command handler (both standard and OEM) to take into
> account of payload paddings in allocating skb (in case of payload
> size is not 32-bit aligned).
> 
> The checksum field follows payload field, without taking payload
> padding into account can cause checksum being truncated, leading to
> dropped packets.
