Revisiting this bug with new information.
I can confirm that when a bridge is involved in the data path, hardware
offloading of packets gets disabled as the network flow bumps to and
from the kernel and the NIC.
However with bonding and appropriate switchdev configuration, offloading
works fine and this is a more typical configuration. Sticking to OVS
bridges rather than using Linux bridges as well will avoid this
situation.
AFAICT this is working as intended so marking this bug as a wont fix.
