Subject: [PATCH net] net: ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix min eth packet size for non-switch use-cases

The CPSW switchdev driver inherited fix from commit 9421c9015047 ("net:
ethernet: ti: cpsw: fix min eth packet size") which changes min TX packet
size to 64bytes (VLAN_ETH_ZLEN, excluding ETH_FCS). It was done to fix HW
packed drop issue when packets are sent from Host to the port with PVID and
un-tagging enabled. Unfortunately this breaks some other non-switch
specific use-cases, like:
- [1] CPSW port as DSA CPU port with DSA-tag applied at the end of the
packet
- [2] Some industrial protocols, which expects min TX packet size 60Bytes
(excluding FCS).

Fix it by configuring min TX packet size depending driver mode
- 60Bytes (ETH_ZLEN) for multi mac (dual-mac) mode
- 64Bytes (VLAN_ETH_ZLEN) for switch mode

This change is odd because cpdma_chan_submit() already pads the DMA
length.

Would it not make more sense to update cpdma_params::min_packet_size
instead of adding a second minimum?

What happens if this races with the TX path? Should there be a
netif_tx_lock() / netif_tx_unlock() around this change?

i've been thinking about it, but cpdma parameter copied into cpdma context once at probe,
so change will be more complex.
Can be done if you insist.

Mode change operation is heavy and expected to be done once when bridge is configured.
It will completely wipe out all ALE entries and so all VLAN setting -
which any way need to be configured (reconfigured) during bridge configuration.
So, traffic can be disturbed during mode change operation.

As result, in my opinion, it make no sense to add additional complexity here.
