axe0: read PHY failed

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi,


I have a Netgear FA120 (if_axe) which is causing me greif. After doing
moderate network traffic it will stop responding with oodles of "axe0: read
PHY failed" on the console. A cvsup triggers it quite reliably.

On further analysis I found that it will not send any ethernet frame where the
size % 64 == 0

For instance all of the following will timeout
  ping -s 22 <host>
  ping -s 86 <host>
  ping -s 150 <host>
etc...


Comparing to the NetBSD driver, I added the USBD_FORCE_SHORT_XFER flag and now
it is working perfectly. Can someone please review the patch below and commit
if appropriate.

thanks,

Andrew
