The AX88772B uses only 11 bits of the header for the actual size. The
other bits

are used for something else. This causes dmesg full of messages:
	asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length

This patch trims the check to only 11 bits. I believe on older chips, the
remaining 5 top bits are unused.

Applied.
Hi, did you test it ?

I left NOTEs outside the commit message:

NOTE: If possible, can someone test/verify this patch with other ASIX chips ?
NOTE2: If Ack-ed, Greg, can you get this into -stable?

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.
