net/smsc911x.c: Set the VLAN1 register to fix VLAN MTU problem

The smsc911x driver would drop frames longer than 1518 bytes, which is a problem for networks with VLAN tagging. The VLAN1 tag register is used to increase the legal frame size to 1522 when a VLAN tag is identified. Signed-off-by: Göran Weinholt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
