I do not know the original purpose of adding the RSS configuration in 
flow API.

However, as far as I know, the hash algorithm can be configured via this 
API,

but not via ethdev ops API.

Some PMDs already have similar check in RSS releated ops or rte_flow API.

For example, hinic, axbge, bnxt, cnxk, otx2, and ena.
