      net: enetc: add support for software TSO
      
      This series adds support for driver level TSO in the enetc driver.
      
      Ever since the ENETC MDIO erratum workaround is in place, the Tx path is
      incurring a penalty (enetc_lock_mdio/enetc_unlock_mdio) for each skb to
      be sent out. On top of this, ENETC does not support Tx checksum
      offloading. This means that software TSO would help performance just by
      the fact that one single mdio lock/unlock sequence would cover multiple
      packets sent. On the other hand, checksum needs to be computed in
      software since the controller cannot handle it.
      
      This is why, beside using the usual tso_build_hdr()/tso_build_data()
      this specific implementation also has to compute the checksum, both IP
      and L4, for each resulted segment.
      
      Even with that, the performance improvement of a TCP flow running on a
      single A72@1.3GHz of the LS1028A SoC (2.5Gbit/s port) is the following:
      
      before: 1.63 Gbits/sec
      after:  2.34 Gbits/sec
      
      Changes in v2:
       - declare NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM in 1/2
       - add support for TSO over IPv6 (NETIF_F_TSO6 and csum compute) in 2/2
