commit 61114910a5f6a71d0b6ea3b95082dfe031b19dfe upstream.
As described by Vitaly Lifshits:
Starting from Tiger Lake, LAN NVM is locked for writes by SW, so the driver cannot perform checksum validation and correction. This means that all NVM images must leave the factory with correct checksum and checksum valid bit set.
Unfortunately some systems have left the factory with an uninitialized value of 0xFFFF at register address 0x3F (checksum word location). So on Tiger Lake platform we ignore the computed checksum when such condition is encountered.
