The RAVB provides a simple checksumming scheme which appears to be
completely compatible with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: a 1's complement sum of

   Hm, the gen2/3 manuals say calculation doesn't involve bit inversion...

all packet data after the L2 header is appended to packet data; this may
be trivially read by the driver and used to update the skb accordingly.

In terms of performance throughput is close to gigabit line-rate both with
and without RX checksum offload enabled. Perf output, however, appears to
indicate that significantly less time is spent in do_csum(). This is as
expected.

By inspection this also appears to be compatible with the ravb found
on R-Car Gen 2 SoCs, however, this patch is currently untested on such
hardware.

   I probably won't be able to test it on gen2 too...

   I'm generally OK with the patch but have some questions/comments below...

Please use ECMR_RCSC as the 3rd argument too to conform the common driver style.

   This *if* can easily be folded into a single ravb_modify() call...

   Hum, both fields are 0 before this? Then why not use '=' instead of '|='?
Even if not, why not just use the same value as both the rvalues?
