[PATCH iwl-next 1/8] e1000e: add jumbo Rx CRC stripping

From: Matt Vollrath

Date: Sun Aug 30 2026 - 19:25:57 EST


When the hardware is configured to not strip the FCS (CrcStripping=0),
the jumbo Rx path would deliver frames with the FCS still attached.
Follow the standard path's convention by stripping the FCS at EOP and
leaving it out of the byte count.

The jumbo path was omitted when the CrcStripping feature was added.
Since v3.3[1], the jumbo path has only been used where the page size is
over 16K, which practically rules out LOMs, BMC sideband, and the need
to leave FCS on frames. The bug is only reachable only by setting
CrcStripping=0 on a platform with nothing that needs it.

This change prepares for convergence of Rx onto the jumbo path in
following patches. The set of h/w routed through this path will expand
to include LOMs.
