This is mess. What does "TCAA" stand for?
I suggest some more meaningful naming of the enum items and define
TCA_ACT_TAB and TCAA_MAX to the new values in order to maintain UAPI
Also, please put X_MAX = __X_MAX - 1 into enum

Use "BIT(0)"

Also use the same prefix as for the enum.

+ you can have each potential flag as a separate u8 attribute. That is the
clearest approach and easily extendable. That's how we do it in devlink
for example.

This is certainly wrong.

Why you need to zero this?
