I know that most of the drivers updated in this patchset checks it
this way, but considering both checks end up being done anyway in the
success case and that performance POV on error path is irrelevant
here, wouldn't it be better to swap both conditions here? I.e., first
check if the device can offload, to only then check what is being
offloaded?
Otherwise the first error would be implying that the device can
offload, just not the specified chain.
