stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE support

The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
for handling the checksum offloading.
This was designed according to the chips included in
the STM platforms where:
o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.

This is not good for other chip configurations where,
for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
or when the GMAC has no IPC.

Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
GMAC devices.

This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.

In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
limited buffer sizes). This information is also
passed through the driver's platform structure.
