Let me try this. Yes. This is what I was looking for. I was trying
something like this and I was getting an error

tc filter add  dev eth0 parent 100: protocol ip prio 10 u32 match ip 
dport 10000 0xffff flowid 100:3
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
We have an error talking to the kernel, -1

Not sure why the above throws an error for me. If I understand it
right, match rule will add a filter to the parent to send packet to
100:3 which is for TC3 or Q3.

My taprio configuration is as follows:-

root@...7xx-evm:~# tc qdisc show  dev eth0
qdisc taprio 100: root refcnt 9 tc 5 map 0 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
queues offset 0 count 1 offset 1 count 1 offset 2 count 1 offset 3 count 
1 offset 4 count 1

Thanks for your response!
