Why don't you use this information...

... to conditionally set the NETIF_F_SG flag?

If you want to enable all the features just write:
dev->net->hw_features |= dev->net->features;
No need to repeat all the flags.

Okay... where is the TSO implementation? The TCP stack passes
parameters like MSS which you need to inform the device about.
You should also count TSO packets as multiple packets in stats.
Are you sure this device supports TSO and not just SG?
