Subject: net: mvneta: disable IP checksum with jumbo frames for Armada 370

From: Simon Guinot <simon.guinot@sequanux.org>

[ Upstream commit b65657fc240ae6c1d2a1e62db9a0e61ac9631d7a ]

The Ethernet controller found in the Armada 370, 380 and 385 SoCs don't
support TCP/IP checksumming with frame sizes larger than 1600 bytes.

This patch fixes the issue by disabling the features NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and
NETIF_F_TSO for the Armada 370 and compatibles SoCs when the MTU is set
to a value greater than 1600 bytes.
