+Subject: [PATCH] net: fix Intel-specific Prepare the outer IPv4 hdr for
+ checksum
+
+Preparation of the headers for the hardware offload
+misses the outer IPv4 checksum offload.
+It results in bad checksum computed by hardware NIC.
+
+This patch fixes the issue by setting the outer IPv4
+checksum field to 0.
+
+Fixes: 4fb7e803eb1a ("ethdev: add Tx preparation")
