Some rockchip SoCs like the RK3399 and RK3328 exhibit an issue where tx checksumming does not work with packets larger than 1498. The default Programmable Buffer Length for TX in these GMAC's is not suitable for MTUs higher than 1498. The workaround is to disable TX offloading with 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off' causing performance impacts as it disables hardware checksumming. This patch sets snps,txpbl to 0x4 which is a safe number tested ok for the most popular MTU value of 1500. For reference, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/1/1382.

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.
