Subject: [net-next PATCH 06/11] net: ravb: Disable IP header TX checksum offloading

From: Paul Barker <paul.barker.ct@...renesas.com>

For IPv4 packets, the header checksum will always be calculated in software
in the TX path (Documentation/networking/checksum-offloads.rst says "No
offloading of the IP header checksum is performed; it is always done in
software.") so there is no advantage in asking the hardware to also
calculate this checksum.
