I don know what you mean.  The definition of this bit is:
" Pad and append CRC . This bit is cleared by default.
This bit must be set when in half-duplex mode (MACCFG2[Full_Duplex] is cleared).
0 Frames presented to the MAC have a valid length and contain a CRC.
1 The MAC pads all transmitted short frames and appends a CRC to every frame regardless of padding
requirement."

So the driver sets this bit to have small frames padded. It always worked this way,
and I retested on P2020RDB and LS1021RDB and works.
Are you saying that padding does not work on your board with the current upstream code?
