[net-next PATCH 02/11] net: ravb: Disable IP header RX checksum offloading

From: Paul Barker <paul.barker.ct@bp.renesas.com>

For IPv4 packets, the header checksum will always be checked in software
in the RX path (inet_gro_receive() calls ip_fast_csum() unconditionally)
so there is no advantage in asking the hardware to also calculate this
checksum.
