I think it is safe. Please see an updated comment below.
And though implementing this register might be possible, I suppose it
is not worth to supporting FrameTooLong detection, for now at least.
Since linux 2.6.38, smsc911x driver writes to VLAN1 registger.
Since this register only affects FrameTooLong detection, ignoring
write to this register should be safe.
