This doesn't seem correct.

The mainline driver is already doing the correct thing. 
The VIA driver would send packet
with known bad checksum up the stack with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
What is supposed to happen is:

Checksum good:  set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
          bad:  leave CHECKSUM_NONE

This is all documented in skbuff.h
