Do you mean the GRE csum can be offloaded? If so, it seems for GRE tunnel
we need the similar one as:

udp: Offload outer UDP tunnel csum if available
I will confirm and implement it in another patch.

There is, but very rare. The thing is after doing CRC csum, the outer
GRE/UDP checksum will have to be recomputed, as it's NOT zero after
all fields for CRC scum are summed, which is different from the
common checksum. So if it's a GRE/UDP tunnel, the inner CRC csum
has to be done there even if the HW supports its offload.

Will fix it in v2, :D
