Looking at the UG online DPNI_CREATE has a NUM_RX_TCS param.

This configuring things statically via some direct FW interface when system boots really sounds like a typical "using Linux to boot a proprietary networking stack" scenario. With the Rx QoS features users won't even be able to tell via standard Linux interfaces what the config was.
