Report TX checksum statistics via the netdev queue stats API by mapping
the existing csum_none and csum_partial counters to the csum_none and

          This counter includes the number of GSO wire packets for which device
          calculated the L4 checksum.

Yea, we count GSO packets as one, so not a direct fit.

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

I don't think I understand what you're trying to say here.
