For encapsulated packets, the firmware gives info about the inner frame
fields by default. When not using encapsulation offload, ask for info
about the outer frame instead.
Unless bug69842 is fixed, a driver reload will be needed, at least
I guess this is your internal bug tracking id, this is not very useful in commit
log since we don't have access to it.
Leaving it as it is, but it would be more useful to describe defect here instead
of referring to its id.
Let's rephrase the paragraph in the following way:
On SFN8xxx with firmware version before v6.4.2.1007 driver reload is needed
after switching from full-feature to low-latency firmware variant since
the driver
still thinks that firmware supports encapsulation, but firmware does not
tolerate request to provide info about outer frame in Rx events.
on some platforms, when switching from full-featured to low-latency
firmware (though users are unlikely to hit that).
