Setting skb->protocol to a private protocol type may result in warning messages such as e1000e 0000:00:19.0 em1: checksum_partial proto=dada! This happens if the L3 protocol is IP or IPv6 and skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. Looking through the code, it appears that changing skb->protocol for transmitted packets is not necessary and may actually be harmful. Drop it.
