Add adapter state with flag for down state. This flag will be used by
the XDP TX path to deny TX if adapter is down.

What value is this bit adding?

From what I can tell you could probably just use netif_carrier_ok in
place of this and actually get better coverage in terms of identifying
state in which the Tx queue is able to function. So in your XDP_TX
patch you could do that if you really need it. 

As far as the use in your close function it is redundant since the
IFF_UP is only set if ndo_open completes, and ndo_stop is only called
if IFF_UP is set. So your down flag would be redundant with !IFF_UP in
that case.

TX does not check the link state, because the hardware just drops all
packets if there is no link. I would like to keep it like that, because
it minimizes special behavior if the link is down. netif_carrier_ok()
would include the link state.

tsnep_netdev_close() is called directly during bpf prog setup (see last
commit). If the following tsnep_netdev_open() call fails, then this
flag signals that the device is actually down even if IFF_UP is set. So
in this case the down flag is not redundant to !IFF_UP.

Is this a good enough reason for the flag?
