staging: fsl-dpaa2/eth: Extra headroom in RX buffers

Browse source

The needed headroom that we ask the stack to reserve for us in TX
skbs is larger than the headroom available in RX frames, which
leads to skb reallocations in forwarding scenarios involving two
DPNI interfaces.

Configure the hardware to reserve some extra space in the RX
frame headroom to avoid this situation. The value is chosen based
on the Tx frame data offset, the Rx buffer alignment value and the
netdevice required headroom.

The network stack will take care to reserve space for HH_DATA_MOD when
building the skb, so there's no need to account for it in the netdevice
needed headroom.
