gianfar: fix a flooded alignment reports because of padding issue.
According to LS1021A RM, the value of PAL can be set so that the start of the
IP header in the receive data buffer is aligned to a 32-bit boundary. Normally,
setting PAL = 2 provides minimal padding to ensure such alignment of the IP
header.
However every incoming packet's 8-byte time stamp will be inserted into the
packet data buffer as padding alignment bytes when hardware time stamping is
enabled.
So we set the padding 8+2 here to avoid the flooded alignment faults:
