    stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE support · ebbb293f

    The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
    for handling the checksum offloading.
    This was designed according to the chips included in
    the STM platforms where:
    o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
    o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.
    
    This is not good for other chip configurations where,
    for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
    or when the GMAC has no IPC.
    
    Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
    draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
    GMAC devices.
    
    This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
    MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
    Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.
    
    In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
    a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
    the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
    limited buffer sizes). This information is also
    passed through the driver's platform structure.
