The application passes a dev_conf structure at configure time.
This structure configures many features, like rx interrupts.
Resetting anything from this configuration in the get_infos op is
wrong, be it 1 or 0.

Idem with LSC.

I don't think enabling LSC works as expected, because this driver does
not report the RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC capability.
Which leads me to a question for ethdev maintainers.
I am surprised we don't have a capability for rx interrupts, is this
feature advertised through another way than device flags?
