[PATCH 2/2] ksz884x: fix Endian

[roy.qing.li]

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@gmail.com>

ETH_P_IP is host Endian, skb->protocol is big Endian, when
compare them, we should change skb->protocol from big endian
to host endian, ntohs, not htons.

This should really be changed to the idiomatic 'skb->protocol ==
htons(ETH_P_IPV6)'.  For the current code, the compiler will probably
generate a run-time byte-swap for little-endian systems.

Please ignore the first reply.

OK, I will change it as Ben's suggestion.

Thanks

True.  Perhaps this would be better written as:

	if (left) {
		if (left < num ||
		    (ip->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
		     skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6))) {

			etc...
