PATCH RESEND 1/1 net: mvneta: Fix big endian issue in mvneta_txq_desc_csum()

This commit fixes the command value generated for CSUM calculation when running in big endian mode. The Ethernet protocol ID for IP was being unconditionally byte-swapped in the layer 3 protocol check (with swab16), which caused the mvneta driver to not function correctly in big endian mode. This patch byte-swaps the ID conditionally with htons.

---
The mvneta driver existed prior to v3.13, but it has only supported big endian from v3.13 onward. If it's accepted, this patch needs to be backported for stable only as far back as v3.13.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
