Hi Rohan,

I notice that stmmac_xmit() handles a few other cases where
checksum offload should not be requested via stmmac_prepare_tx_desc:

        csum_insertion = (skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL);
        /* DWMAC IPs can be synthesized to support tx coe only for a few tx
         * queues. In that case, checksum offloading for those queues that don't
         * support tx coe needs to fallback to software checksum calculation.
         *
         * Packets that won't trigger the COE e.g. most DSA-tagged packets will
         * also have to be checksummed in software.
         */
        if (csum_insertion &&
            (priv->plat->tx_queues_cfg[queue].coe_unsupported ||
             !stmmac_has_ip_ethertype(skb))) {
                if (unlikely(skb_checksum_help(skb)))
                        goto dma_map_err;
                csum_insertion = !csum_insertion;
        }

Do we need to care about them in stmmac_xdp_xmit_zc()
and stmmac_xdp_xmit_xdpf() too?
