No, I meant this particular driver.

Note that netif_skb_features() does only this check :

if (gso_segs > dev->gso_max_segs || gso_segs < dev->gso_min_segs)
      features &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK;


Ie not testing gso_max_size

It looks like all these particular tests should be moved on
ndo_gso_check(), to remove code from netif_skb_features()
