If this approach is acceptable to you, I will prepare a patch with
the proposed fix and send it to you next week for testing on your system.
What solution do you have in mind?
The only one I can think of is to ignore the checksum completely if the
valid_csum_mask condition is not met on e1000_pch_tgp.
Would you be OK with the following modification:
diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ich8lan.c
b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ich8lan.c
