Hi Ferruh,
Apologies, this somehow didn't make it to my inbox.
I believe case (2) applies here, rx_drop_en is not currently configurable in hw,
so this change was intended to accurately report the effective value. I'm not
sure whether (2a) or (2b) would be better, but (2b) seems less likely to cause
issues for existing applications.

It wasn't clear to me whether this was intended to report the difference between
the offload configuration for the queue and the offload configuration
for the port
or the effective offload configuration for the queue. I noticed that
several other
PMDs (e.g. mlx5, netvsc, sfc) report the offload configuration for the port in
rx/tx_queue_info_get(). The sfc PMD reports the offload configuration for the
port combined with queue-specific offloads, based on those examples this
seemed to be correct. I guess you're saying those are also incorrect?
Thanks,
Lance
