That means, since every rx buffer is large enough, it is impossible to
get a multi-segment packets.

So I simplified ftmac100_rx_packet().

Ah, I just want to submit a v7.
Could you resign again later, please? :-)

I am only wondering then if not using fragments would be faster then
(eventually doing copybreaks for small frames like tg3)

Although not many circumstances are tested.
iperf shows that it is a little faster to use fragments than memcpy, so...

But if you plan to get new hw soon, you have the infrastructure...
