The checks inside generic_opt_check, worker_tx_enq_opt_check are still required
as different eventdevs opdl, DSW, dpaa, sw, octeontx might have different
capabilities.

The generic_pipeline flag is just used to decide the pipeline to use based on
the ethdev connected to eventdev.

The original idea was to have support to add different pipelines based on
combination of capability between eventdev and ethdev.
