Same comment as the previous one.  What is it about igb_check_lbtest_frame
that makes this the right choice?

The subject line also does not look correct.  Normally, one does not put
an extension on a file name in a subject line, ie igb_ethtool.c.  Have you
used git log --oneline to see what subject line others have used for this
driver?
