Hi Xiaolong,

I am not sure if this is a problem.

PKT_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK should be all TX bits set, from bit 40 to 60 in latest code.
And XXX_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK can be subset of those bits set.

So your sample doesn't apply here since PKT_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK, TX related bits,
can't be 0. And (A ^ B) should be same with ~(A & B) for this case.


Am I missing something, do you have a failing usecase/testcase with real values?
