Yes, the processing of the driver tx checksum is received along with the xmit() function, and here it's just set features.
I may need to explain this in the commit log.

When receiving packets, MAC checks the checksum by default. This behavior cannot be disabled.
If the checksum is incorrect, the MAC notifies the driver through the descriptor.

If checksum offload is enabled, the driver drops the packet.
Otherwise, the driver set the checksum to NONE and sends the packet to the stack.

Thanks,
