So far there is only a helper for successful transmission, which led
device drivers to implement their own handling in case of
error. Unfortunately, we really need all the drivers to give the hand
back to the core once they are done in order to be able to build a
proper synchronous API. So let's create a _xmit_error() helper and take
this opportunity to fill the new device-global field storing Tx
statuses.
