The icmp6_checksum was returning an invalid data type as the expected type
is __sum16. For returning such data type, icmp6_checksum, now, is using
the kernel functions for computing the checksum.
Here, the sparse message:
drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_lte.c:311:39: warning: incorrect type in assignment
(different base types)
drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_lte.c:311:39: expected restricted __sum16
[addressable] [assigned] [usertype] icmp6_cksum
drivers/staging/gdm724x/gdm_lte.c:311:39: got int
