Hi, Ori and Ferruh
  Currently, the rte flow APIs lack of get capability APIs, upper-application
could not get the device capability unless look doc or code or even test it.
  Maybe it's a good idea to add the get capability like traffic manager
framework, what do you think?

Regards

Not providing capability was a design decision, because it may not be possible 
to provide capability information correctly.

The preferred method is 'rte_flow_validate()'.
Application should call 'rte_flow_validate()' to decide if a rule can be created 
or not, and take an action accordingly.
