[PATCH v5 3/3] dts: update tx_offload test from old dts

Mon Sep 29 19:06:05 CEST 2025


Currently, the RX/TX offload test in old DTS expects the TX ports to be
initially configured to use mbuf fast free. This is no longer the case
and must be updated to assume mbuf fast free is not initially utilized
by capable NICs. Add updated test suite to test mbuf fast free
configuration.
