No.

I did some extra tests with following results: REG_SW_MTU__2 should be
configured to 1518 to pass 1514 frame. Independent if the frame is
passed between external ports or external to CPU port. So, I assume,
ETH_FRAME_LEN + ETH_FCS_LEN should be used instead of VLAN_ETH_FRAME_LEN
+ ETH_FCS_LEN. Correct?
