 *. Please let me know if updating txq->trans_start in gfar_start is
    alright, although updating txq->trans_start in gfar_start_xmit( )
    should be done.

See commit 08baf561083bc27a953aa087dd8a664bb2b88e8e, you don't have to
update *->trans_start at all, the generic code will do it for you.

For example, this is why you won't be able to find any trans_start
references in drivers such as ixgbe
