Jeremy Kerr e869e7a177 net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix packet alignment padding
Using a AX88179 device (0b95:1790), I see two bytes of appended data on
every RX packet. For example, this 48-byte ping, using 0xff as a
payload byte:

  04:20:22.528472 IP 192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: ICMP echo request, id 2447, seq 1, length 64
	0x0000:  000a cd35 ea50 000a cd35 ea4f 0800 4500
	0x0010:  0054 c116 4000 4001 f63e c0a8 0101 c0a8
	0x0020:  0102 0800 b633 098f 0001 87ea cd5e 0000
	0x0030:  0000 dcf2 0600 0000 0000 ffff ffff ffff
	0x0040:  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
	0x0050:  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
	0x0060:  ffff 961f

Those last two bytes - 96 1f - aren't part of the original packet.

In the ax88179 RX path, the usbnet rx_fixup function trims a 2-byte
'alignment pseudo header' from the start of the packet, and sets the
length from a per-packet field populated by hardware. It looks like that
length field *includes* the 2-byte header; the current driver assumes
that it's excluded.

This change trims the 2-byte alignment header after we've set the packet
length, so the resulting packet length is correct. While we're moving
the comment around, this also fixes the spelling of 'pseudo'.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
