The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).
The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.
The return type of cvm_oct_xmit and cvm_oct_xmit_pow should be changed
from int to netdev_tx_t.

This reverts commit 710d7fbe21ee2ceab121f1f84a20edf68f9f9742.
Re-instate the code so subsequent commits can clean it up and get it
building properly.

This driver has been in the tree since 2009 with no real movement to get
it out. Now it is starting to cause build issues and other problems for
people who want to fix coding style problems, but can not actually build
it.
As nothing is happening here, just delete the module entirely.

Now that the SPDX tag is in all drivers/staging/octeon/ files, that
identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the
extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Fix up the staging octeon driver to have a proper SPDX identifier, based
on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a
legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler
plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs,
sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their
time blocked waiting for the cleanup.
Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a
watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after
a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted
packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high
rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog
initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.
The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.
We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.

The octeon-ethernet driver supports the sgmii, rgmii, spi, and xaui
ports present on the Cavium OCTEON family of SOCs. These SOCs are
multi-core mips64 processors with existing support over in arch/mips.
The driver files can be categorized into three basic groups:
1) Register definitions, these are named cvmx-*-defs.h
2) Main driver code, these have names that don't start cvmx-.
3) Interface specific functions and other utility code, names starting
with cvmx-
