This patch series aims to add HW checksum offload supported by TOE module
found on the RZ/G2L Gb ethernet IP.
TOE has hardware support for calculating IP header and TCP/UDP/ICMP
checksum for both IPv4 and IPv6.
For Rx, the 4-byte result of checksum calculation is attached to the
Ethernet frames.First 2-bytes is result of IPv4 header checksum and next
2-bytes is TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum.
If a frame does not have checksum error, 0x0000 is attached as checksum
calculation result. For unsupported frames 0xFFFF is attached as checksum
calculation result. In case of an IPv6 packet, IPv4 checksum is always set
to 0xFFFF.
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 UDPv4
frame and its checksum value in the UDP header field is 0x0000, 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.

v2->v3:
* Updated commit header and description as suggested by Sergey for cover letter,
* patch#1 and patch#2.
* Dropped TOE_RX_CSUM_OK macro.
* Renamed ravb_csum_offload_init_gbeth()->ravb_csum_init_gbeth().
* Moved enabling {RPE,TPE} in ravb_csum_init_gbeth().
* Updated the error message in ravb_csum_init_gbeth() as
"Timeout enabling hardware checksum"
* Introduced ravb_endisable_csum_gbeth() for enabling/disabling CSR{1,2} registers.
* Replaced NETIF_F_IP_CSUM->NETIF_F_HW_CSUM as we are supporting only IPv4.
* Updated the comment related to UDP header field.
* Renamed ravb_is_tx_checksum_offload_gbeth_possible()->ravb_is_tx_csum_gbeth().
v1->v2:
* Updated covering letter and results
* Fixed the sparse warnings for patch#1 by replacing __sum16->__wsum.
Note:
This patches are tested with [1]. Without the patch [1] CPU performance is
not good which impacts the network throughput.
