This bgmac patch was an attempt to fix/workaround bug reported in
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7198 noticed on WNR3500L.
Patch assumed length reported by the hardware was 0 and was trying to
read it until getting a different value. This was actually the opposite.
Lenghts were some invalid & huge values that resulted in skb_over_panic.
For example:
skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:83b21074 len:57222 (...)
skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:87af1024 len:43226 (...)
skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:87af5024 len:8739 (...)
So instead of that not-working patch checking for 0, write a new one
checking for huge values. In case something like that happens, dump
hardware state and drop the packet.
