usbnet: ipheth: remove extraneous rx URB length check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 655b46d ]

Rx URB length was already checked in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback_legacy()
and ipheth_rcvbulk_callback_ncm(), depending on the current mode.
The check in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback() was thus mostly a duplicate.

The only place in ipheth_rcvbulk_callback() where we care about the URB
length is for the initial control frame. These frames are always 4 bytes
long. This has been checked as far back as iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3G.

Remove the extraneous URB length check. For control frames, check for
the specific 4-byte length instead.
