net: txgbe: fix eeprom calculation error
[ Upstream commit aa846677a9fb19a0f2c58154c140398aa92a87ba ]
For some device types like TXGBE_ID_XAUI, *checksum computed in
txgbe_calc_eeprom_checksum() is larger than TXGBE_EEPROM_SUM. Remove the
limit on the size of *checksum.
Fixes: 049fe5365324 ("net: txgbe: Add operations to interact with firmware")
Fixes: 5e2ea7801fac ("net: txgbe: Fix unsigned comparison to zero in txgbe_calc_eeprom_checksum()")
