I understand that. It was only about the mechanism. And in my last
comment i was
only trying to comment on the mechanism. And, my motivation of bringing
that up
(i had indicated during my patch submission), is this will be needed for
most offloads.

yes, and the open question was should immediate masters care.

I thought i had addressed that. At every point you will check if the
intermediate lowerdev implements the op.
If it does you call the op on that netdev and that will terminate the
traversal on that netdev (in this case the intermediate master if the
intermediate master is capable of handling that op).
