This should really be rate limited :(

Why return this frame? Since error is reported @sent_frames will not be
incremented, and therefore bq_xmit_all() will take care of returning it,
right?

Otherwise the other error return path (see below) needs to be changed
as well.

> +		return NETDEV_TX_BUSY;

On DMA mapping error this function returns FEC_ENET_XDP_CONSUMED,
would be good if the functions return values where from the same
"enum". Are you going to clean that part up in net-next?

nit: you can skip the "!= 0", but up to you
