Subject: [PATCH net v3 4/4] net: ethernet: cortina: Checksum only TCP and
UDP
It is a bit odd that frames that are neither TCP or UDP
(such as ICMP or ARP) are still sent to the checksumming
engine, where they are clearly just ignored.
Rewrite the logic slightly so that we first check if the
frame is TCP or UDP, in that case bypass the checksum
engine.
