Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: tag_mtk: add padding for tx packets
Date: Fri, 6 May 2022 21:43:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220506194344.83702-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
Padding for transmitted packets needs to account for the special tag.
With not enough padding, garbage bytes are inserted by the switch at the
end of small packets.
Fixes: 5cd8985a1909 ("net-next: dsa: add Mediatek tag RX/TX handler")
