I usually put a capability field into the ops themselves. But since tc
offloads don't have real ops (heh) we need to do the command callback
thing. This is my knee-jerk coding of something:

Right, but that's what's in the tree _now_. Experience teaches that
people may have out of tree code which implements TAPRIO and may send
it for upstream review without as much as testing it against net-next :(
As time passes and our memories fade the chances we'd catch such code
when posted upstream go down, perhaps from high to medium but still,
the explicit opt-in is more foolproof.
