Add support for RX checksum offload. This is enabled by default and
may be disabled and re-enabled using ethtool:
# ethtool -K eth0 rx off
# ethtool -K eth0 rx on
The RAVB provides a simple checksumming scheme which appears to be
completely compatible with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: sum of all packet data after
the L2 header is appended to packet data; this may be trivially read by the
driver and used to update the skb accordingly.
In terms of performance throughput is close to gigabit line-rate both with
and without RX checksum offload enabled. Perf output, however, appears to
indicate that significantly less time is spent in do_csum(). This is as
expected.
Test results with RX checksum offload enabled:

Above results collected on an R-Car Gen 3 Salvator-X/r8a7796 ES1.0.
Also tested on a R-Car Gen 3 Salvator-X/r8a7795 ES1.0.
By inspection this also appears to be compatible with the ravb found
on R-Car Gen 2 SoCs, however, this patch is currently untested on such
hardware.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
