Apologies if the question is not clear. Let me try to explain what I am trying to ask below

1. If by default JUMBO enabled for this device?
2. There is RX offload which is configured with value 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME'. Should this be enabled for supporting JUMBO frames?
3. There is per RX queue offload flag too 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME'. If port_conf is set for 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME' but disabled for specific RX queue 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME', what is the JUMBO setting for the device?
Hence do we need to check 'mtu_set' for whether actually device is configured for JUMBO processing or not?
