Watchdog Time-out. When the PWE bit in the EMACWDOGTO
register is set and the WD bit of the EMACCFG register is clear, this
field is used as a watchdog time-out value for a received frame. If
the length of a received frame exceeds the value of this field, such
frame is terminated and declared an error frame. When the PWE bit
is set the value in this field should be more than 1522 (0x05F2).
Otherwise, valid tagged IEEE 802.3 frames are declared as error
frames and are dropped.
