I think you can save a couple lines here and avoid small code dup:

+		case FDMA_REDIRECT:
+			redirect = true;
+			fallthrough;
 		case FDMA_TX:
 			lan966x_fdma_rx_advance_dcb(rx);
 			continue;

The logics stays the same.

I suggest carefully inspecting this struct with pahole (or by just
printkaying its layout/sizes/offsets at runtime) and see if there's
any holes and how it could be optimized.
Also, it's just my personal preference, but it's not that unpopular:
I don't trust bools inside structures as they may surprise with
their sizes or alignment depending on the architercture. Considering
all the blah I wrote, I'd define it as:

struct lan966x_tx_dcb_buf {
	dma_addr_t dma_addr;		// can be 8 bytes on 32-bit plat
	struct net_device *dev;		// ensure natural alignment
	struct sk_buff *skb;
	struct xdp_frame *xdpf;
	u32 len;
	u32 xdp_ndo:1;			// put all your booleans here in
	u32 used:1;			// one u32
	...
};

BTW, we usually do union { skb, xdpf } since they're mutually
exclusive. And to distinguish between XDP and regular Tx you can use
one more bit/bool. This can also come handy later when you add XSk
support (you will be adding it, right? Please :P).
