Otherwise this PR will never be closed and makes no sense, I'm afraid.

Only this? Or more other 8139C+ fixes?
Is it a good idea to pull all fixes blindly?
Anyway please also see recent posts on tech-kern and tech-net.
yamt said that hw ip4csum bug only happens with
very small packet (less than ETHER_PAD_LEN) so FreeBSD's
fix is not right. Furthermore, they choose to copy small packets
to a new mbuf for padding, and several people object it.
