smsc95xx: Fix tx checksum offload for small packets

Steve Glendinning · davem330 · commit 11bc3088373e · 2010-03-18T22:18:41.000-07:00
TX checksum offload does not work properly when transmitting
UDP packets with 0, 1 or 2 bytes of data.  This patch works
around the problem by calculating checksums for these packets
in the driver.
