As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on
the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to
heavy load). When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported
by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup.
This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an
oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping
any currently pending packets.
