[SC92031] Using padto turned driver into an IPv6-only interface
IPv4 would work with this driver only with static arp table entries, the patch reverts a padto introduced in commit 26a17b7b sc92031: start transmit return value bugfix The padto does not work because the driver code evaluates `len' later on and there are cases where skb->len is not updated accordingly. This was observed with ARP frames (skb->len = 42 bytes, !skb_cloned(), skb_tailroom = 84 bytes). Then in skb_pad(), the first condition is true, where skb->len is not updated. As a consequence, the driver uses 42 bytes instead of the 60 bytes, and the ARP frame never makes it onto the wire.
