The tx->verify_cached flag is used to inform the Tx timestamp tracking
code whether it needs to verify the cached Tx timestamp value against
a previous captured value. This is necessary on E810 hardware which does
not have a Tx timestamp ready bitmap.

In addition, we currently rely on the fact that the
ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready() function returns all 1s for E810 hardware.
Instead of introducing a brand new flag, rename and verify_cached to
has_ready_bitmap, inverting the relevant checks.

From the above I understand what this patch does.
But not why this change is desirable.
I think it would be useful to state that.

Also, perhaps it just me, but it seems that
renaming verify_cached and weeding out assumptions
about the return value of ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready()
are separate, albeit related changes:
I might have gone for two patches instead of one.

The main motivation is that it is easier to understand the resulting behavior than to rely on a hidden assumption of how ice_get_phy_tx_stamp_ready() works.

It could possibly be split up. The motivation was to stop relying on the fact that ice_get_phy_tx_tstamp_ready() returns all 1s, since we already know whether we can safely check it or not. But then using "verify_cached" to do so reads weird with the code because its name no longer clearly indicates its purpose. Instead, we rename it to better reflect its intention.

Thanks,
Jake
