How so?  This patch would be introducing the bug.  From tg3_get_invariants:

	if (tp->pci_chip_rev_id == CHIPREV_ID_5700_B0)
		tp->tg3_flags |= TG3_FLAG_BROKEN_CHECKSUMS;
	else {
		unsigned long features = NETIF_F_IP_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_GRO;

		tp->tg3_flags |= TG3_FLAG_RX_CHECKSUMS;
		if (tp->tg3_flags3 & TG3_FLG3_5755_PLUS)
			features |= NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM;
		tp->dev->features |= features;
		vlan_features_add(tp->dev, features);
	}
