commit 536fd741c7ac907d63166cdae1081b1febfab613 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. Since Tiger Lake devices were the first to have this lock, some systems in the field did not meet this requirement. Therefore, for these transitional devices we skip checksum update and verification, if the valid bit is not set.
