I used same HW and FW, but was not able to reproduce.
I have kernel HEAD of net-next: 8a79813c1401 net: ethernet: dwc_eth_qos: 
use phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings

I ran regular ping, and ping6. Checksum complete counter increases, but 
no warnings in dmesg.
What kernel do you use? Does it repro on latest net-next?
