[PATCH 1/1] AX88179_178A: Add FLAG_HW_IPALIGN to determine whether reserving NET_IP_ALIGN bytes for an SKB.

[freddy]

From: Freddy Xin <freddy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The AX88179_178A has a hardware feature that it can insert a
2-bytes pseudo header in front of each received frame by setting
the AX_RX_CTL_IPE bit. This feature is used to let the IP header
be aligned on a doubleword-aligned address, so the rx_submit() of
usbnet.c needn't reserve NET_IP_ALIGN bytes for an SKB in the case.

This patch adds a flag of driver_info "FLAG_HW_IPALIGN" which is
used in rx_submit() of usbnet.c to determine whether reserving
NET_IP_ALIGN bytes for an SKB.
