net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement transmit path to transfer tx ethernet frames
The transmit ethernet frame will be converted into multiple transmit data chunks. Each transmit data chunk consists of a 4 bytes header followed by a 64 bytes transmit data chunk payload. The 4 bytes data header occurs at the beginning of each transmit data chunk on MOSI. The data header contains the information needed to determine the validity and location of the transmit frame data within the data chunk payload. The number of transmit data chunks transmitted to mac-phy is limited to the number transmit credits available in the mac-phy. Initially the transmit credits will be updated from the buffer status register and then it will be updated from the footer received on each spi data transfer. The received footer will be examined for the transmit errors if any.
