There are three group of offloads from PMD point of view:
- Supported, reported via rx_offload_capa, setting these will work fine
- Not supported, listed in dev_rx_offloads_not_supported, application setting
this will get an error with and error log.
- Not configurable, supported by hardware but not configurable by application,
these goes silently, can you print a warning for this case?
And it can be easier to keep list of these offloads, otherwise you will need to
update your unsupported list when a new type of offloading introduced. And
developers may more interested to see the list of not configurable, and leaving
rest as unsupported.
