Transmission of short packets does not work good for XFI (GDM2) and
HSGMII (GDM3) interfaces. The issue can be solved with:
- padding of short packets to 60 bytes
- setting of PAD_EN bit in the corresponding REG_GDM_FWD_CFG(n)
register.
The issue should present for the lan switch (GDM1) as well, but it does
does not appear due to unknown reason.
This patch set PAD_EN bit for the used GDM.
