Hi Qi & Andrew
    if user configure rss func for symmetric toeplitz, RSS types must be 
updated at the same time?
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions rss func symmetric_toepilitz 
types tcp end / end

if use the following cmd:
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions rss func symmetric_toepilitz 
types end / end

it is wrong and the driver will print the error info.
How to understand this limitation?
