[PATCH] drivers: net: gianfar: Shortest frame drops at Ethernet port

[Daniel Walker]

NXP has provided the patch for packet drops  at ethernet port
Frames shorter than 60bytes are getting dropped at ethernetport
need to add padding for the shorter range frames to be transmit
the function "eth_skb_pad(skb" provides padding (and CRC) for
packets under 60 bytes
