Earlier you use a nice t7xx_skb_data_area_size() function here, but
now you opencode it. Is it a consequence of t7xx_common.h removing?

I would even encourage you to make this function common and place it
into include/linux/skbuff.h with a dedicated patch and call it
something like skb_data_size(). Surprisingly, there is no such helper
function in the kernel, and several other drivers will benefit from
it:

$ grep -rn 'skb_end_pointer(.*) [-]' drivers/net/
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mv643xx_eth.c:628: size =
skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data;
drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/pxa168_eth.c:322: size =
skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data;
drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ksz884x.c:4764: if (skb_end_pointer(skb) -
skb->data >= 50) {
drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/ccm_mbox.c:492: undersize =
max_reply_size - (skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data);
drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c:2073:
(skb_end_pointer(np->rx_skb[i].skb) -
drivers/net/ethernet/nvidia/forcedeth.c:5238: (skb_end_pointer(tx_skb)
- tx_skb->data),
drivers/net/veth.c:767: frame_sz = skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->head;
drivers/net/wwan/t7xx/t7xx_hif_cldma.c:106: return
skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data;
drivers/net/wwan/t7xx/t7xx_hif_dpmaif_rx.c:160: data_len =
skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data;
