I explained why doing this change in the third paragraph based on
Steffen's suggestion, I can move it here.

I didn't drop any code in the current patch,  I created a test and the
patch will be upstreamed after this change is checked in.
The link is https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241104233315.3387982-1-wangfe@google.com/
Do I need to add the test details in this commit?

The current code will drop the packet if the interface ID is not matched.

A test patch will be upstreamed.  There is no need for tcpdump because
this change won't change packet content.

There is no existing driver supporting packet offload mode except netdevsim.

We discussed this before, and I followed your and Steffen's comment to
add netdevsim simulation code to satisfy the requirement.
