    can: rockchip_canfd: fix return type of rkcanfd_start_xmit() · 9a0e4c18

    With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
    indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
    pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
    ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
    which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
    warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which reveals:
    
      drivers/net/can/rockchip/rockchip_canfd-core.c:770:20: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
        770 |         .ndo_start_xmit = rkcanfd_start_xmit,
            |                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    ->ndo_start_xmit() in 'struct net_device_ops' expects a return type of
    'netdev_tx_t', not 'int' (although the types are ABI compatible). Adjust
    the return type of rkcanfd_start_xmit() to match the prototype's to
    resolve the warning.
