Mirko and I were working on a related issue, here is his fix.
I proposed a similar alternative, but he was unavailable to test it,
and therefore was still pending.  Does this fix your problem?

Nothing sets ->rx_vlan in that patch.

Patch

=================


From: From: Mirko Lindner <mlindner@marvell.com>

Bug: The VLAN bit of the MAC RX Status Word is unreliable in several older
supported chips. Sometimes the VLAN bit is not set for valid VLAN packets
and also sometimes the VLAN bit is set for non-VLAN packets that came after
a VLAN packet. This results in a receive length error when VLAN hardware
tagging is enabled.

Fix: The driver uses only VLAN information included in VLAN status list elements,
that signals that the VLAN tag field is valid. It must ignore the VLAN bit in the
MAC RX Status Word. An additional variable set when evaluating the VLAN opcodes
is used to indicate that the received packet is a VLAN packet and a packet length
correction (subtraction of VLAN header length) must be done.
