From: Andrew Lunn andrew@lunn.ch
[ Upstream commit fc5f33768cca7144f8d793205b229d46740d183b ]
The Marvell switches under some conditions will pass a frame to the host with the port being the CPU port. Such frames are invalid, and should be dropped. Not dropping them can result in a crash when incrementing the receive statistics for an invalid port.
