v2 cover net: mvneta: some small improvements

patch1 removes the NETIF_F_GRO check ourself, because the net subsystem will handle it for us.

patch2 enables NETIF_F_RXCSUM by default, since the driver and HW supports the feature.

patch3 is a small optimization, to reduce smp_processor_id() calling in mvneta_tx_done_gbe.

since v1:
- based on net-next tree
- remove the fix patches, since they should be based on net branch.
- Add Gregory's Reviewed-by tag

PATCH v2 1/3 net: mvneta: Don't check NETIF_F_GRO ourself

napi_gro_receive() checks NETIF_F_GRO bit as well, if the bit is not set, we will go through GRO_NORMAL in napi_skb_finish(), so fall back to netif_receive_skb_internal(), so we don't need to check NETIF_F_GRO ourself.

PATCH v2 2/3 net: mvneta: enable NETIF_F_RXCSUM by default

In reply to Jisheng Zhang

The code and HW supports NETIF_F_RXCSUM, so let's enable it by default.

Hi Jisheng

I ran some quick tests on a 370RD devel board, which uses a Marvell switch connected to mvneta. I did no see any obvious regressions.

PATCH v2 3/3 net: mvneta: reduce smp_processor_id() calling in mvneta_tx_done_gbe

In reply to Jisheng Zhang

In the loop of mvneta_tx_done_gbe(), we call the smp_processor_id() each time, move the call out of the loop to optimize the code a bit.

Before the patch, the loop looks like(under arm64):

        ldr     x1, [x29,#120]
        ...
        ldr     w24, [x1,#36]
        ...
        bl      0 <_raw_spin_lock>
        str     w24, [x27,#132]
        ...

After the patch, the loop looks like(under arm64):

        ...
        bl      0 <_raw_spin_lock>
        str     w23, [x28,#132]
        ...

where w23 is loaded so be ready before the loop.

Quoted 1 line

From another side, mvneta_tx_done_gbe() is called from mvneta_poll()

which is in non-preemptible context, so it's safe to call the smp_processor_id() function once.
