DSA inherits NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK from master->vlan_features, and the
expectation is that TX checksumming is offloaded and not done in
software.
Normally the DSA master takes care of this, but packets handled by
ocelot_defer_xmit() are a very special exception, because they are
actually injected into the switch through register-based MMIO. So the
DSA master is not involved at all for these packets => no one calculates
the checksum.
This allows PTP over UDP to work using the ocelot-8021q tagging
protocol.
