The GbEth IP found in Renesas RZ/G2L, RZ/G3S and related SoCs supports
hardware checksum offload for packets in the following cases:

 - there are zero or one VLAN headers with TPID=0x8100
 - the network protocol is IPv4 or IPv6
 - the transport protocol is TCP, UDP or ICMP
 - the packet is not fragmented 

To complete the support for all these cases in the ravb driver, we need
to add handling for ICMP packets, VLAN-tagged packets and IPv6 packets
in both the TX and RX code paths.

These patches also do some refactoring/tidy-up, drop unnecessary checks
from performance sensitive code paths and disable unnecessary IP header
checksum offloading.
