I've been thinking about it some more and I believe what I proposed is
correct: features that are or-ed (ONE_FOR_ALL) should start with 0,
those which are and-ed (ALL_FOR_ALL) with 1.
But once we do that, we have to fix another problem in vlan module:
features of a vlan device are mostly computed as bitwise AND of features
and vlan_features of its underlying device. The problem is checksumming
features don't really behave like independent flags as their main
purpose is to be used in can_checksum_protocol() whose logic is that
HW_CSUM (GEN_CSUM) means "can checksum everything" so that it kind of
contains IP(V6)_CSUM functionality. Therefore intersection of HW_CSUM
and IP(V6)_CSUM should result in the latter.
An alternative approach would be to always set IP(V6)_CSUM once HW_CSUM
(any of GEN_CSUM) is set but as for long time people were taught not to
do that and we even have a warning for it, switching to the exact
opposite could cause a lot of problems.

Agreed. Added a similar patch for teaming driver.
