Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/4] Fix large frames in the Gemini ethernet driver

This is the result of a bug hunt for a problem with the
RTL8366RB DSA switch leading me wrong all over the place.

I am indebted to Vladimir Oltean who as usual pointed
out where the real problem was, many thanks!

Tryig to actually use big ("jumbo") frames on this
hardware uncovered the real bugs. Then I tested it on
the DSA switch and it indeed fixes the issue.

Changes in v2:
- Don't check for oversized MTU request: the framework makes sure it doesn't
  happen.
- Drop unrelated BIT() macro cleanups (I might send these later for net-next)
- Use a special error code if the skbuff is too big and fail gracefully
  is this happens.
- Do proper checksum of the frame using a software fallback when the frame
  is too long for hardware checksumming.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231104-gemini-largeframe-fix-v1-0-9c5513f22f33@linaro.org
