Account for hardware auto-padding in TX byte counters to reflect actual wire traffic. The LAN7850 hardware automatically pads undersized frames to the minimum Ethernet frame length (ETH_ZLEN, 60 bytes). However, the driver tracks the network statistics based on the unpadded socket buffer length. This results in the tx_bytes counter under-reporting the actual physical bytes placed on the Ethernet wire for small packets (like short ARP or ICMP requests). Use max_t() to ensure the transmission statistics accurately account for the hardware-generated padding.
