It would be better to name `buf` as tx_pkts and name
`count` as nb_pkts.

It would be better to add some comments to highlight
that the device needs to be paused before calling this
function in driver.

It's not necessary to include this header file.

Ditto.

Why not just put all the condition checks in unlikely()?

If (hw->started == 0) is "unlikely", then
(hw->started == 0 && tx_pkts != hw->inject_buf) would
be more "unlikely".

Ditto.
