The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev). The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying function definition does not match the function hook definition. The return type of cvm_oct_xmit and cvm_oct_xmit_pow should be changed from int to netdev_tx_t.
