So I am able to turn on LRO without any issues.

Do you know if you have done anything that might disable LRO such as
modified the rx-usecs to a value less than 10 or enabled routing or
bridging on the device?  Also I think a stacked device might be able
to block you from enabling LRO unless all the devices stacked on the
interface can support it.
