I'll add comment for UDP checksum in next patch.

IMHO, the flow type is different from RSS Offload type.
That's why they have been decoupled in commit fce6b66893
ethdev: decouple flow types and RSS offload types
This patch decouples RTE_ETH_FLOW_* and ETH_RSS_*. The former defines
flow types and the latter defines RSS offload types.
There are total 25 flow types, but 30+ RSS offload types.
The PMDs report flow type in dev_info->flow_type_rss_offloads, but they don't
report RSS offload type.
