I don't have strong opinion on this. If there are no other objection, I
will split the patch further as mbuf and ethdev as you pointed out.

I am following the scheme similar to OUTER IP checksum where we have only
one bit filed(PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD). I will mention in the git commit.

I will update the comment.

OK.
Thanks for the review.
