Hi Qiming,
There are two consequences if skipping the state rss_conf->rss_hf == 0.
1. The function " port config all rss none" means to disable RSS. When
rss_conf->rss_hf == 0, the function will not take affect, which does not
conform to the description in dpdk doc:
The none option is equivalent to the --disable-rss command-line option.
2. Some ptypes are not supported by CVL. When rss_conf->rss_hf == 0, users
cannot predict the consequences when setting RSS with these unsupported ptypes.
The RSS may be disabled, or with no change, which is not what we want to see.
So delete these codes may be better.
Regards,
Wenjun

Why need to delete this code? It's a code clean to avoid to do more judgement
in the next funxtion.
