[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 45/77] net: ax88796c: Fix return type of ax88796c_start_xmit

[ Upstream commit fcb7c210a24209ea8f6f32593580b57f52382ec2 ]

The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).

The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.

The return type of ax88796c_start_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
