..., this option enables extended RX BDs in order to support hardware

Please keep in reverse Christmas tree order as much as possible:

union enetc_tx_bd *txbd;
int i, bds_to_clean;
bool do_tstamp;
u64 tstamp = 0;

This goto seems strange and unnecessary. How about this instead?

if (txbd->flags & ENETC_TXBD_FLAGS_W &&
tx_swbd->do_tstamp) {
enetc_get_tx_tstamp(&priv->si->hw, txbd, &tstamp);
do_tstamp = true;
}

This is a poor choice of name. It sounds like it describes HW
capabilities, but you use it to track whether a feature is requested
at run time.

This is also poorly named. How about "tstamp_request" instead?
