Subject: [net-next PATCH v2 00/10] Extend GbEth checksum offload support to VLAN/IPv6 packets

The GbEth IP found in Renesas RZ/G2L, RZ/G3S and related SoCs supports
hardware checksum offload for packets in the following cases:

 - there are zero or one VLAN headers with TPID=0x8100
 - the network protocol is IPv4 or IPv6
 - the transport protocol is TCP, UDP or ICMP
 - the packet is not fragmented 

To complete the support for all these cases in the ravb driver, we need
to add handling for VLAN-tagged packets and IPv6 packets in both the TX
and RX code paths. Handling for ICMP packets in the TX path is not added
as it cannot currently be tested.

These patches also do some refactoring/tidy-up, drop unnecessary checks
from performance sensitive code paths and disable unnecessary IP header
checksum offloading.

Changes v1->v2:
  - Use get_unaligned() to access hw_csum in ravb_rx_csum_gbeth().
  - Dropped patch "Support ICMP TX checksum offload for GbEth" and
    simplified TX checksum offload path.
  - Moved last_frag into if condition in ravb_can_tx_csum_gbeth().
  - Dropped unnecessary check for skb->vlan_proto in
    ravb_can_tx_csum_gbeth().
  - s/HW/hardware/ in "Simplify types in RX csum validation" commit
    message.
  - s/null/zero/ in "Simplify UDP TX checksum offload" commit message.
  - Specified TX/RX direction in "Enable IPv6 TX/RX checksum offloading
    for GbEth" commit messages.
  - Dropped unnecessary whitespace.
  - Added Sergey's Reviewed-by tags.
