The change enables offloading TCP checksum calculation to firmware.
The support has been added for QA team's testing purposes and currently
there is no plan to offload the feature to firmware by default at
load time.
To enable TCP checksum offload for tx and rx paths, use
the ethtool as follows:
ethtool -K <interface> tx on
ethtool -K <interface> rx on
To disable TCP checksum offload, for tx and rx paths, use
the ethtool as follows:
ethtool -K <interface> tx off
ethtool -K <interface> rx off
