[PATCH net-next v7 8/9] net: check for driver support in netmem TX

Mina Almasry

We should not enable netmem TX for drivers that don't declare support.

Check for driver netmem TX support during devmem TX binding and fail if
the driver does not have the functionality.

Check for driver support in validate_xmit_skb as well.
