smsc95xx: fix transmission where ZLP is expected
[ Upstream commit ec4756238239f1a331d9fb95bad8b281dad56855 ] Usbnet framework assumes USB hardware doesn't handle zero length packets, but SMSC LAN95xx requires these to be sent for correct operation. This patch fixes an easily reproducible tx lockup when sending a frame that results in exactly 512 bytes in a USB transmission (e.g. a UDP frame with 458 data bytes, due to IP headers and our USB headers). It adds an extra flag to usbnet for the hardware driver to indicate that it can handle and requires the zero length packets. This patch should not affect other usbnet users, please also consider for -stable. Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning <steve.glendinning@smsc.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
