Subject: [PATCH 09/11] netdev: bfin_mac: only use hardware checksum in normal IPv4 mode

From: Jon Kowal <jon.kowal@...ecialists.de>

The Blackfin on-chip MAC checksum logic only works when the IP packet has
a header length of 20 bytes.  This is true for most IPv4 packets, but not
for IPv6 packets or IPv4 packets which use header options.  So only use
the hardware checksum when appropriate.
