[ Upstream commit 58117672943734715bbe7565ac9f062effa524f0 ]
According to LS1021A RM, the value of PAL can be set so that the start of the IP header in the receive data buffer is aligned to a 32-bit boundary. Normally, setting PAL = 2 provides minimal padding to ensure such alignment of the IP header.
However every incoming packet's 8-byte time stamp will be inserted into the packet data buffer as padding alignment bytes when hardware time stamping is enabled.
So we set the padding 8+2 here to avoid the flooded alignment faults:
