Yes. I got away with it as ravb_main.c includes
<net/page_pool/helpers.h> before including "ravb.h", but the header
shouldn't assume that.

Looking at .config I see CONFIG_DMA_NEED_SYNC=y so yes I think this is
needed.

My understanding was that we should use unlikely() for error checking in
hot code paths where we want the "good" path to be optimised. I can drop
this if I'm wrong though.

It makes more logical sense to me to do this as the last step, but I
guess it's a little more optimal to do it earlier. I'll move it.
