This function is called only for the Pdelay_Req/Resp packet processing
from the hardware where correction field is updated & checksum is
recomputed.
As per the recommendation, Can I set the skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE
in the function after recomputing the checksum and resubmit the patch.
Kindly suggest.
