Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dsa: tag_mtk: add padding for tx packets
Date:   Tue, 10 May 2022 11:40:13 +0200
Message-Id: <20220510094014.68440-1-nbd@nbd.name>

Precedence: bulk

Padding for transmitted packets needs to account for the special tag.
With not enough padding, garbage bytes are inserted by the switch at the
end of small packets.

Fixes: 5cd8985a1909 ("net-next: dsa: add Mediatek tag RX/TX handler")
