Hi Giuseppe,
This patch works well on Loongson1B platform except one thing.
The rx checksum offload of normal descriptor is disabled by default.
So, I enabled this functon. And one minor tweak is added to your patch.
What about your opinion?
BTW, tx checksum insertion works now.

Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: update normal descriptor structure
This patch updates the normal descriptor structure
to work fine on new GMAC Synopsys chips.
Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100
databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example
the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload.
The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old
MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new
fields that actually new GMAC devices can use.
For example, STx7109 will pass from the platform
tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0.
A platform like Loongson1B (Mips) will pass:
tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1.
Thanks to Kelvin, he enhanced the normal descriptors for
GMAC on Loongson1B.
