   I think you can just compare to 0... ISTR that checksumming result
should indeed be 0 for a good IP header, so this # does not seem device
specific...

   Yeah, I figured. :-) However I can't find this flow in the RZ/G2L[C]
user's manual...

   I have to repeat: either don't do read/modife/write CSR0 accesses here
or remove the below line from ravb_emac_init_gbeth():

	ravb_write(ndev, CSR0_TPE | CSR0_RPE, CSR0);

   Well, I think this line should be removed in any case -- we shouldn't
enable RX/TX checksumming in CSR0 if we don't also set up CSR1/2...

   I don't get it... what flexibility do you mean?

 *   CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is applicable to following protocols:
 *     TCP: IPv6 and IPv4.
 *     UDP: IPv4 and IPv6. A device may apply CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to a
 *       zero UDP checksum for either IPv4 or IPv6, the networking stack
 *       may perform further validation in this case.
 *     GRE: only if the checksum is present in the header.
 *     SCTP: indicates the CRC in SCTP header has been validated.
 *     FCOE: indicates the CRC in FC frame has been validated.
 *
 *   skb->csum_level indicates the number of consecutive checksums found in
 *   the packet minus one that have been verified as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
 *   For instance if a device receives an IPv6->UDP->GRE->IPv4->TCP packet
 *   and a device is able to verify the checksums for UDP (possibly zero),
 *   GRE (checksum flag is set) and TCP, skb->csum_level would be set to
 *   two. If the device were only able to verify the UDP checksum and not
 *   GRE, either because it doesn't support GRE checksum or because GRE
 *   checksum is bad, skb->csum_level would be set to zero (TCP checksum is
 *   not considered in this case).

   It would seem we should set this field to 1 if the TCP/UDP checksum
was successfully verified?

   Of course, I can. I don't think clearing CSR0.TPE makes sense if you
only modify CSR2, and clearing CSR0.RPE makes sense if you only modify CSR1...

   No, you need to 1st clear CSR0.{RPE|TPE}, then set up CSR1/2, then restore
CSR0... something like that.

   Ignore me -- this one seems to be used for the TX path.
   I just had to learn how the checksum offloading works while reviewing
your patches... :-)
