Exactly, I think it would work and it feels simpler.
I didn't test it yet, i need access to evaluation board before. But this change will behave differently regarding stats of tx_bytes [1]. The first version will include the padding, while the second does not.
Good point! But I think we'd be moving in the right direction. tx_bytes should count bytes sent to the network, not data+metadata sent on an internal bus.
If you connect this board to a different controller directly the rx_bytes of the other end should match the tx_bytes of the board with mse102x. The byte accounting would benefit from further massaging in a separate patch.
