I have a hard time understanding this seemingly overcomplicated
check.

It looks like if L3 is IPV4 it will accept any underlying L4 protocol,
but is that what is really intended?  That doesn't match what this new
comment states.

My understanding is that the chip supports checksums for:

	UDP/IPV4
	UDP/IPV6
	TCP/IPV4
	TCP/IPV6
	SCTP/IPV4
	SCTP/IPV6

So the simplest thing is to validate each level one at a time:

	if (l3 != IPV4 && l3 != IPV6)
		return;
	if (l4 != UDP && l4 != TCP && l4 != SCTP)
		return;
