Sorry, you'll have to hold my hand here, as I know exactly nothing
about XDP....

However, this doesn't fix my issue. I still get all sort of
corruption. Probably stmmac_rx_buf2_len() also need adjusting (it has
a similar logic as its buf1 counterpart...)

Unless you can fix it very quickly, and given that we're towards the
end of the cycle, I'd be more comfortable if we reverted this patch.
