Well, that's been a waste of time today. While the next iteration was
building, because it's been suspicious that each and every bisect
point has failed so far, I decided to re-check 6.14, and that fails.
So, it looks like this problem has existed for some considerable
time. I don't have the compute power locally to bisect over a massive
range of kernels, so I'm afraid stmmac receive is going to have to
stay broken unless someone else can bisect (and find a "good" point
in the git history.)
