[PATCH net-next v2 13/14] net: stmmac: check txpbl for TSO

Documentation states that TxPBL must be >= 4 to allow TSO support, but
the driver doesn't check this. TxPBL comes from the platform glue code
or DT. Add a check with a warning if platform glue code attempts to
enable TSO support with TxPBL too low.
