Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 12/23] net: davicom: Fix return type of dm9000_start_xmit

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

[ Upstream commit 0191580b000d50089a0b351f7cdbec4866e3d0d2 ]

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 dm9000_start_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
