PATCH 1/1 spidernet: checksum and ethtool

It doesn't look like spidernet hardware can really checksum all protocols, the code looks like it does IPV4 only. If so, it should use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

The driver doesn't need it's own get/set for ethtool tx csum, and it should use the standard ethtool_op_get_link.

NOT TESTED (no CELL hardware).

It seems to work. I've been distracted with other spidernet issues; I will forward your patch upstream early next week.

Can you provide a signed-off-by line, please? I was hoping to submit upstream today.
