i2c: Fix device name for 10-bit slave address
10-bit addresses overlap with traditional 7-bit addresses, leading in
device name collisions. Add an arbitrary offset to 10-bit addresses to
prevent this collision. The offset was chosen so that the address is
still easily recognizable.

To enable VLAN promiscous mode, the HW interface should be created

Lancer uses V1 version of TXQ create. This command needs interface
id for TX queue creation. Rearrange code such that tx queue create
is after interface create. As TXQ create is now called after MCC
ring create use MCC instead of MBOX.

net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit
Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.
For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

Re-request fw from fs may fail for different reasons, once the fw was
loaded we won't release it until driver is removed.
This also resolves the boot problem when initial fw is located on initrd,
but rootfs is still unavailable, in this case device reset will fail due
to absence of fw files.

net: use jump_label for netstamp_needed
netstamp_needed seems a good candidate to jump_label conversion.
This avoids 3 conditional branches per incoming packet in fast path.
No measurable difference, given that these conditional branches are
predicted on modern cpus. Only a small icache reduction, thanks to the
unlikely() stuff.
