We had workarounds were the ethernet checksumming engine would be bypassed for larger frames, this fixed devices using DSA, but regressed devices where the ethernet was connected directly to a PHY. The devices with a PHY connected directly can't handle large frames either way, with or without bypass. Looking at the size of the frame is probably just wrong. Rework the workaround such that we just bypass the checksumming engine if the ethertype inside the actual frame is something else than 0x0800 (IPv4) or 0x86dd (IPv6). These are the only frames the checksumming engine can actually handle. VLAN framing (0x8100) also works fine. We can't inspect skb->protocol because DSA frames will sometimes have a custom ethertype despite skb->protocol is e.g. 0x0800. After this both devices with direct ethernet attached such as D-Link DNS-313 and devices with a DSA switch with a custom ethertype such as D-Link DIR-685 work fine.

Presumably all you need is to call vlan_get_protocol() ?
