This patch series aims to add HW checksum offload supported by TOE module
found on the RZ/G2L Gb ethernet IP.
The TOE has hw support for calculating IP header and TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum
for both IPV4 and IPV6.
For Rx, the result of checksum calculation is attached to last 4byte
of ethernet frames. First 2bytes is result of IPV4 header checksum
and next 2 bytes is TCP/UDP/ICMP.
If frame does not have error "0000" attached to checksum calculation
result. For unsupported frames "ffff" is attached to checksum calculation
result. Cases like IPV6, IPV4 header is always set to "FFFF".
For Tx, the result of checksum calculation is set to the checksum field of
each IPv4 Header/TCP/UDP/ICMP of ethernet frames. For the unsupported
frames, those fields are not changed. If a transmission frame is an UDP
frame of IPv4 and its checksum value in the UDP header field is H’0000,
TOE does not calculate checksum for UDP part of this frame as it is
optional function as per standards.
Add Tx/Rx checksum offload supported by TOE for IPV4 and TCP/UDP protocols.
