From i40e datasheet:
The IP header type and its offload. In case of tunneling, the IIPT
relates to the inner IP header. See also EIPT field for the outer
(External) IP header offload.
00 - non IP packet or packet type is not defined by software
01 - IPv6 packet
10 - IPv4 packet with no IP checksum offload
11 - IPv4 packet with IP checksum offload
Therefore it is not needed to fill the IIPT field if no offload is
requested (we can keep the value to 00). For instance, the linux driver
code does not set it when (skb->ip_summed != CHECKSUM_PARTIAL). We can
do the same in the dpdk driver.
The function i40e_txd_enable_checksum() that fills the offload registers
can only be called for packets requiring an offload.
