It's fine, mlx4 does not implement rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_update() either
(legacy RSS configuration is not implemented at all).
With mlx4, the command:
port config all rss (all|anything else)
Always returns an error. It's a good thing because it's not implemented and
users must be made aware of that fact. No need to lie about it.
