[PATCH] net: Fix dev dev_ethtool_get_rx_csum() for forced NETIF_F_RXCSUM

[Michał Mirosław]

dev_ethtool_get_rx_csum() won't report rx checksumming when it's not
changeable and driver is converted to hw_features and friends. Fix this.

(dev->hw_features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM) check is dropped - if the
ethtool_ops->get_rx_csum is set, then driver is not coverted, yet.

Applied, thanks.

I noticed this didn't get into your net-next tree (it's only in net).
This impacts the hw_features conversions that are in net-next.

BTW, what's the policy for this kind of patches? I send them relative
to net-next normally and note if this is also for -rc/stable - is this
The Good Way(tm)?

If you want a change to be included in the upcoming release, it must be
applied initially to net-2.6; therefore it must be based on net-2.6.

David will periodically merge net-2.6 into net-next-2.6.  You can
probably do a test merge yourself if you want to see what the result
will be.

I've just merged net-2.6 into net-next-2.6, so anything which exists in
net-2.6 will show up in net-next-2.6 now too.
