Details:

Hello,

I am having problems after developing a LWIP_CHKSUM_COPY() assembly routine.
Implementations of a superior MEMCPY to the standard library, as well as a
faster LWIP_CHKSUM by utilizing ADDC instructions were both successful.
Unfortunately this improvement has caused me much frustration.

Naturally I assumed my assembly code was erroneous so I spent time I disabled
all of these macros and found the error to still exist. Considering the bug
was consistent (checksum off by 1 in MSB of checksum) I attempted to squish
it. Unfortunately after a few days I was unsuccessful.

I have done:
 - Sanity checks of my MEMCPY(), LWIP_CHKSUM_COPY() and LWIP_CHKSUM() - data
copied correctly and checksum correct
 - Turned off these features
 - Turned off my asm byteswapping functions
 - Turned off compiler optimizations (only constant folding)

Chasing the bug it seems random, and I cannot define the behavior that
reproduces it, however, it is very common. I have attached logs of debug
messages as well as a netcap with the sanity check override disabled
(commenting line 1595 in tcp_out.c).

Target: Infineon XC22xxM with ASIX Ax88796b netif

Thanks & regards,
-Victor
