Subject: LRO/HW_GRO is not disabled when native xdp is installed

Hello,

When attaching native xdp program, device's aggregation features (i.e LRO/HW_GRO) are not getting disabled. 
They seems to be getting disabled only in case of generic xdp install, not in case of native/driver mode xdp,
Shouldn't it be done something like below ?? if so, please let me know if I can post a patch like below.
