This check should go to ndo_fix_features callback. If it fails then
just return features &~NETIF_F_RXCSUM from there ...

... and then this should be just:
rtnl_lock();
netdev_update_features(card->dev);
rtnl_unlock();

BTW, How is the recovery process protected from interface removal if
it's not run under rtnl_lock?
