It remains as it was before the patchset.
By default we initialize dev_rx_offload/dev_tx_offloads to (uint64_t)-1;
Then: 
dev_info.rx_offload_capa &= dev_rx_offload;
to disable unwanted capabilities.
Then:
if ((local_port_conf.rxmode.offloads & dev_info.rx_offload_capa)
to check that all required capabilities are supported.

My bad - screwed part of Remy's changes while introducing offloads options.
Will fix it in v6.
