    stmmac: update normal descriptor structure (v2) · 3c20f72f

    This patch updates the normal descriptor structure
    to work fine on new GMAC Synopsys chips.
    
    Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100
    databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example
    the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload.
    
    The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old
    MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new
    fields that actually new GMAC devices can use.
    
    For example, STx7109 (MAC10/100) will pass from the platform
      tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0.
    A platform like Loongson1B (GMAC) will pass:
      tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1.
    
    Thanks to Kelvin, he enhanced the normal descriptors for
    GMAC (on MIPS Loongson1B platform).
