net: dsa: free skb->cb usage in core driver
Free skb->cb usage in core driver and let device drivers decide to use or not. The reason having a DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->clone was because dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() which may set the clone pointer was called before p->xmit() which would use the clone if any, and the device driver has no way to initialize the clone pointer. This patch just put memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(skb->cb)) at beginning of dsa_slave_xmit(). Some new features in the future, like one-step timestamp may need more bytes of skb->cb to use in dsa_skb_tx_timestamp(), and p->xmit(). Signed-off-by:Yangbo Lu <yangbo.lu@nxp.com> Acked-by:
