Don't this needs to be len -= sz;

and here len -= ETH_FCS_LEN

since "len" is later used for accounting how many bytes have been
received by the network device?

I am bit confused by the use of "buf", but presumably if NETIF_F_RXCFS
is turned on, the FCS needs to be part of the buffer passed to the
network stack, so adjusting len accordingly is required anyway.
