The rx_offset_correction is introduced by commit 8d5047cf9ca2 ("net: mvneta:
 Convert to be 64 bits compatible"). It's to support mvneta on 64bit
platforms such as Armada 3700. It's not related with HW BM.

yes, I mentioned this in email "[query] about recent mvneta patches".
IMHO, we'd better not rely on the platform's L1_CACHE_BYTES value,
we dunno whether the max granular size is increased again in the future.
