[dts] [DTS][PATCH] fix tx crc issue

[Van Haaren, Harry]

Hi All,

Recently I've removed all CRC bytes from the byte counter statistics.

This means when --crc-strip is enabled, or disabled, the byte counters
should remain the same.

These changes apply to igb, ixgbe, i40e, while fmk10k already strips CRC
bytes from its counters.

These patches were merged into dpdk.org master recently, commits
  156c5a8 e1000/igb
  c03fcee ixgbe
  0834d15 i40e


Note that VLAN stripping will still affect byte stats, same as before.


If there are any questions regarding testing the byte statistics,
feel free to ask. 

-Harry
