          Number of packets that required the device to calculate the checksum.
          This counter includes the number of GSO wire packets for which device
          calculated the L4 checksum.
        type: uint

Looking at drivers currently implementing this it seems like the idea
was to avoid having to increment two counters in the drivers, given
that TSO always implies csum offload
