Subject: [PATCH 4.7 027/141] iwlwifi: mvm: checksum IPv6 fragmented packet

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@...el.com>

commit ecf51424152bad1b2727409f42ddf1bd86f44b7d upstream.

Our HW does not support checksum of fragmented packets.
Fix code accordingly to checksum those packets in the driver.
