stmmac: Define CSUM offload engine Types
This patch explicitly defines the CSUM offload engine type which need (not mandatory) to be passed from the platform code. STMMAC core supports two check sum offload engine types- Type-1 & Type-2. Also, there are STMMAC cores that do not have the check sum offload capabilities. The behaviour of Type-1 & Type-2 cores related to provision of checksum increases the packet length for Type-1 cores by 2, as the checksum is appended at the end of data packet and the same is made accountable in the DMA status. The STMMAC cores beyond Version-3.5 provide HW interface registers which allows the user to read the HW capabilities, while to support the previous cores the information related to HW capabilities has to be provided from the platform code. The Type-1 cores which do not have the HW register interface need this information. This patch also updates the driver's doc.
