Hi Greg,

Found few e100e upstream fixes from Benjamin Poirier in lede source tree, https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git, and these fixes seem reasonable enough for 4.14.y too.

Also submitting an e1000e buffer overrun fix by Sasha Neftin.

Cherry-picked and build tested for linux v4.14.2 for ARCH=arm/arm64.

Any reason you did not cc: the maintainers for this driver and their mailing list?

Also, why is the maintainers of this driver not marking anything for stable? They never do, is that for a reason?

thanks,
