I'm no expert here, but just notice there is additional MAC_TRANSMIT_JABBER_SIZE
register which is no need to set? or is the problem on receive side only?

Hi Tomas,
Thanks for the fix. Just a few more things...
Firstly, I believe it is preferred to send a new patch version in its
own thread with a link to the previous version. See
Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst:
The new version of patches should be posted as a separate thread,
not as a reply to the previous posting. Change log should include a link
to the previous posting (see :ref:`Changes requested`).
You can do that for v3.
Secondly...

I tested this (also setting MAC_TRANSMIT_JABBER_SIZE, as Yixun
described) and it appears that this has surfaced a latent bug in the code.
I found that the hardware can't actually handle 4096-byte buffers, since
the size field is only 12-bit. (It was my fault to assume that existing
code was right in this regard...) So MTU larger than ~2000 breaks the
hardware, and also triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in emac_rx_frame_good().
4095 works just fine.
Can you include this in v3 as well? Maybe also reword the commit
messages a bit. Thanks.
(Here's hoping Thunderbird hasn't destroyed the whitespace...)

Oh and... maybe these should be priv->ndev->mtu + ETH_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN?

... yeah looks like I've simply messed up the whole MTU and max frame
size configuration thing.
* Tomas: Do you still want to deal with all this and figure out all the
MTU stuff that needs to be fixed? I can give it a go but I don't want to
steal your credit.
