Please test the following patch. It's just a blind guess, as this error

net: ibmveth: force reconfiguring checksum settings on startup
Commit b9367bf3ee6d ("net: ibmveth: convert to hw_features") accidentally
removed call to ibmveth_set_csum_offload() in ibmveth_probe(). Put the
call back where it was, but with additional error checking provided
by ibmveth_set_features().
