Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 76/77] net: lan966x: Fix return type of lan966x_port_xmit

From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 450a580fc4b5e7f7fb8d9b1a0208bf0d1efc53a8 ]

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 lan966x_port_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
