Yes, we can't even use ethtool to set this field. My suggestion is to not add/maintain code that we cannot test. I leave it up to Akhikho to decide if we really need to implement IPPCSE. The default value of RXCSUM.IPPCSE is unset, so we could as well ignore this field until there is a user who sets this. Anyhow, I will wait with futher comments, until you respin this after splitting the changes as requested.
