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.

Thank you for comments.

Subject: [PATCH] lan9118: Ignore write to MAC_VLAN1 register

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.
