Please could you explain in the commit log how it is related to filtering?

tunneling UDP or UDP tunneling?

Please, explain what the device could do with these informations.
Offloading? Filtering?

Many words are useless here.
"UDP tunneling configuration" should be sufficient.

It's a verbose commenting style, but why not.
Typo: "to be added".
