Why is return -EINVAL removed here?
If application is not updated to use offloads, offloads is 0 and 
everything is OK.
If application is updated to use offloads, its behaviour must be consistent.
Same below for Tx device offloads.

May be it is really a good tradeoff to remove error return here.
Ideally it would be nice to see explanation here why.
