When commit 474ea9ca ("net: bcmgenet: correctly pad short packets") added the call to skb_padto() it should have been located before the nr_frags parameter was read since that value could be changed when padding packets with lengths between 55 and 59 bytes (inclusive). The use of a stale nr_frags value can cause corruption of the pad data when tx-scatter-gather is enabled. This corruption of the pad can cause invalid checksum computation when hardware offload of tx-checksum is also enabled. Since the original reason for the padding was corrected by commit 7dd39913 ("net: bcmgenet: fix skb_len in bcmgenet_xmit_single()") we can remove the software padding all together and make use of hardware padding of short frames as long as the hardware also always appends the FCS value to the frame.
