[PATCH net] net: ftmac100: do not reject packets bigger than 1514

Dispite datasheet [1] saying the controller should allow incoming
packets of length >=1518, it only allows packets of length <=1514.

Since 1518 is a standard Ethernet maximum frame size, and it can
easily be encountered (in SSH for example), fix this behaviour:

* Set FTMAC100_MACCR_RX_FTL in the MAC Control Register.
* Check for packet size > 1518 in ftmac100_rx_packet_error().
