Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: allow rx_process() to ignore packets

From: Ondrej Zary <[email-masked]>

Allow rx_process() to ignore a packet without incrementing error counters if 
rx_fixup() returns value other than 0 or 1 (e.g. 2).

This allows to simplify rx_fixup() functions of drivers who do complex 
processing there. Currently, drivers must process the last packet in a 
special way - leave it for usbnet to process. This is not easily possible 
when a driver (like the new cx82310_eth) needs to process packets that cross 
URB (and thus skb) boundaries. With this patch, the driver can process all 
packets in the skb and just return 2 at the end.

Also fix asix driver that was returning 2 at one place before this change 
(probably by mistake).
