asix: On RX avoid creating bad Ethernet frames
When RX Ethernet frames span multiple URB socket buffers, the data stream may suffer a discontinuity which will cause the current Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer to be incomplete. This frame needs to be discarded instead of appending unrelated data from the current URB socket buffer to the Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer. This avoids creating a corrupted Ethernet frame in the netdev socket buffer. A discontinuity can occur when the previous URB socket buffer held an incomplete Ethernet frame due to truncation or a URB socket buffer containing the end of the Ethernet frame was missing. Therefore, add a sanity test for when an Ethernet frame spans multiple URB socket buffers to check that the remaining bytes of the currently received Ethernet frame point to a good Data header 32-bit word of the next Ethernet frame. Upon error, reset the remaining bytes variable to zero and discard the current netdev socket buffer. Assume that the Data header is located at the start of the current socket buffer and attempt to process the next Ethernet frame from there. This avoids unnecessarily discarding a good URB socket buffer that contains a new Ethernet frame.
