ravb: Add Tx checksum offload support for GbEth



TOE has hardware support for calculating IP header and TCP/UDP/ICMP
checksum for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Add Tx checksum offload supported by TOE for IPv4 and TCP/UDP.

For Tx, the result of checksum calculation is set to the checksum field of
each IPv4 Header/TCP/UDP/ICMP of ethernet frames. For the unsupported
frames, those fields are not changed. If a transmission frame is an UDPv4
frame and its checksum value in the UDP header field is 0x0000, TOE does
not calculate checksum for UDP part of this frame as it is optional
function as per standards.

We can test this functionality by the below commands

ethtool -K eth0 tx on --> to turn on Tx checksum offload
ethtool -K eth0 tx off --> to turn off Tx checksum offload
