I'll duplicate an improved version of this line from another thread in case it 
could help with the comprehension during review:

*csum_status = XDP_CHECKSUM_VALID_LVL0 + ice_rx_csum_lvl(status);

Both ice and veth fill in the csum_status, the need to fill in the csum_info is 
determined by the status. I don not see a problem with that.

Maybe you have an issue with putting a valid checksum number into a status 
instead of info? Please clarify.
