From: Jacek Kowalski 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.

Unfortunately some systems have left the factory with an uninitialized value of 0xFFFF at register address 0x3F (checksum word location). So on Tiger Lake platform we ignore the computed checksum when such condition is encountered.
