[PATCH] usbnet: fix alignment for frames with no ethernet header

[Bjørn Mork]

The qmi_wwan minidriver support a 'raw-ip' mode where frames are
received without any ethernet header. This causes alignment issues
because the skbs allocated by usbnet are "IP aligned".

Fix by allowing minidrivers to disable the additional alignment
offset. This is implemented using a per-device flag, since the same
minidriver also supports 'ethernet' mode.

usbnet: fix alignment for frames with no ethernet header

[Bjørn Mork]

The qmi_wwan minidriver support a 'raw-ip' mode where frames are
received without any ethernet header. This causes alignment issues
because the skbs allocated by usbnet are "IP aligned".

Fix by allowing minidrivers to disable the additional alignment
offset. This is implemented using a per-device flag, since the same
minidriver also supports 'ethernet' mode.

Thanks. I can see it in the -stable queue, but it didn't show up here
yet: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git

Did it get stuck somewhere?

Caught again :-)

I do GIT work on two different machines (one at home and one at the
office) and sometimes I head to the office before pushing everything
out on the machine at home :-/

I've pushed this specific patch out to 'net'.
