[PATCH 05/13] net: mvneta: add xmit_more support

Marcin Wojtas

From: Simon Guinot <simon.guinot@sequanux.org>

Basing on xmit_more flag of the skb, TX descriptors can be concatenated
before flushing. This commit delay Tx descriptor flush if the queue is
running and if there is more skb's to send.
