Forgot to mention. The commit log has many grammar mistakes especially time tense.
You can use the following:
The driver may change offloads info into dev->data->dev_conf in dev_configure which may cause port->dev_conf and port->rx_conf contain outdated values.
This patch updates the offloads info if it changes to fix this issue.
