..

Or even simpler (below).  I don't think this method requires any
extra locking, but I'm still open to persuasion.  :)


static int ax88772b_set_features(struct net_device *netdev, u32 features)
{
        struct usbnet *dev = netdev_priv(netdev);
        struct ax88772b_data *priv = (struct ax88772b_data *)dev->driver_priv;
        u16 tx_csum = 0, rx_csum = 0;

        priv->features = features & (NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_RXCSUM);
        if (features & NETIF_F_HW_CSUM)
                tx_csum = AX_TXCOE_DEF_CSUM;
        if (features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM)
                rx_csum = AX_RXCOE_DEF_CSUM;
        ax8817x_write_cmd(dev, AX_CMD_WRITE_RXCOE_CTL, rx_csum, 0, 0, NULL);
        ax8817x_write_cmd(dev, AX_CMD_WRITE_TXCOE_CTL, tx_csum, 0, 0, NULL);
        return 0;
}
