net: aquantia: tcp checksum 0xffff being handled incorrectly
Thats a known quirk in windows tcp stack it can produce 0xffff checksum. Thats incorrect but it is. Atlantic HW with LRO enabled handles that incorrectly and changes csum to 0xfffe - but indicates that csum is invalid. This causes driver to pass packet to linux networking stack with CSUM_NONE, stack eventually drops the packet. There is a quirk in atlantic HW to enable correct processing of 0xffff incorrect csum. Enable it. The visible bug is that windows link partner with software generated csums caused TCP connection to be unstable since all packets that csum value are dropped.
