This reverts commit 3e21a10fdea3c2e4e4d1b72cb9d720256461af40.

The reverted patch completely breaks all network connectivity on the
lan7430. tcpdump indicates missing bytes when receiving ping
packets from an external host:

host$ ping $lan7430_ip
lan7430$ tcpdump -v
IP truncated-ip - 2 bytes missing! (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21715,
    offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)

Fixes: 3e21a10fdea3 ("lan743x: trim all 4 bytes of the FCS; not just 2")

Can you explain the difference in behavior with what I was observing
on the LAN7431? I'll retest but if this is reverted I'm going to start
seeing 2 extra bytes on the end of frames and it's going to break DSA
with the LAN7431 again.

I'm not using DSA in my application, so I cannot test or replicate
what you were observing. It would be great if we could work together
and settle on a solution that is acceptable to both of us.

Seen from my point of view, your patch is a regression. But perhaps my
patch set is a regression for you? Catch 22...

Would you be able to identify which patch broke your DSA behaviour?
Was it one of mine? Perhaps we can start from there.

Can't we use frame_length - ETH_FCS_LEN direcctly here?

If the hard-coded "4" refers to ETH_FCS_LEN, then yes, good point. I'd
love to find out first why George and I need different patches to make
the driver work in our use case, though.

Yes, first I'm going to confirm that what is in the net branch still
works (unlikely but perhaps something else could have broken it since
last I tried it).
Then I'll confirm the patch which I believe broke it actually did and
report back.

Just an idea:
RX_HEAD_PADDING is an alias for NET_IP_ALIGN that can have two values:
0 and 2
The two systems you use may have different NET_IP_ALIGN values.
This could explain the behavior. Then what I proposed should work
for both of you: frame_length - ETH_FCS_LEN

Yes, good point! I was thinking the exact same thing just now.
Subtracting 2 + RX_HEAD_PADDING from the frame length made no sense.

George, I will send a patch for you to try shortly. Except if you're
already ahead :)

A completely unrelated question:
How about VLAN packets with a 802.1Q tag? Should VLAN_ETH_HLEN be used?

Sounds good. I'll post a proper patch soon. Would you be able to
review+test, and perhaps offer your Reviewed-by/Tested-by tags when
everything looks ok?

That's a good question. My use-case does not involve 802.1Q though, so
I'm unable to test.

Thank you so much for your suggestion earlier, I'll put a proper
attribution to you in the new patch's commit message.

I'd try to write the lengths in the order they happen, so:
	buffer_length = RX_HEAD_PADDING + ETH_HLEN + netdev->mtu + ETH_FCS_LEN;

The compiler should add all the constants together,
so the generated code ought to be the same.
