Subject: [PATCH] net: sh_eth: fix incorrect RX length error if R8A7740
commit dd019897358b815f7828dab90b51d51df4d3658d upstream.
This patch fixes an issue that the driver increments the "RX length error"
on every buffer in sh_eth_rx() if the R8A7740.
This patch also adds a description about the Receive Frame Status bits.
