	if (ol_flags & (PKT_TX_L4_MASK | PKT_TX_TCP_SEG))
		/* IP type not set */
		if (!(ol_flags & (PKT_TX_IPV4 | PKT_TX_IPV6)))
			return -EINVAL;

For L4 checksums (L4_MASK == TCP_CSUM|UDP_CSUM|SCTP_CSUM) as well as for TCP_SEG, the flag PKT_TX_IPV4 or PKT_TX_IPV6 must be set. L4_MASK doesn't include TCP_SEG bit, so I added it to have one condition for all these cases (check if IPV4/6 flag is set when required).

More detailed check, only for TCP_SEG is below (tso_segsz and IP_CSUM flag for IPV4):

PKT_TX_L4_MASK doesn't include PKT_TX_TCP_SEG, so it will always be false.
