mediatek: Fix crash caused by reporting inconsistent skb->len to BQL

Changes since v1:
- fix inconsistent enumeration which easily causes the potential bug

The series fixes kernel BUG caused by inconsistent SKB length reported
into BQL. The reason for inconsistent length comes from hardware BUG which
results in different port number carried on the TXD within the lifecycle of
SKB. So patch 2) is proposed for use a software way to track which port
the SKB involving instead of hardware way. And patch 1) is given for another
issue I found which causes TXD and SKB inconsistency that is not expected
in the initial logic, so it is also being corrected it in the series.

The log for the kernel BUG caused by the issue is posted as below.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
