I think you can cut the number of arguments by almost a half:

int lan966x_fdma_xmit_xdpf(struct lan966x_port *port,
			   void *ptr, u32 len)
{
	if (len) {
		/* XDP_TX, ptr is page */
		page = ptr;

		dma_sync_here(page, len);
	} else {
		/* XDP_REDIR, ptr is xdp_frame */
		xdpf = ptr;

		dma_map_here(xdpf->data, xdpf->len);
	}

@page and @xdpf are mutually exclusive. When @xdpf is non-null, @len is
excessive (xdpf->len is here), so you can use @len as logical
`len * !dma_map`, i.e. zero for REDIR and the actual frame length for TX.

I generally enjoy seeing how you constantly improve stuff in your driver :)
