It is a pure converter function and it would avoid questions like:
Is tx_offloads an output only or input/output parameter?
Yes, the function is tiny and it is easy to find the answer, but still.

Also it would make it possible to pass the result to other function
call without extra variables etc.
Yes, right now usage of the function is very limited and hopefully
it will not live long, so it is not that important. Definitely up to you.
