Subject: [PATCH net 1/7] be2net: Fix to prevent Tx stall on SH-R when packet size < 32

From: Ajit Khaparde <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 15:17:04 -0500

Tx on SH-R can lockup if the packet size is less than 32 bytes.
Pad such packets to a safer 36-byte size.
Patch uses the Lancer-R workaround - which checks for packet <= 32-bytes
