Hi, David

   The TC Flower Classifier allows control of packets based on flows
determined by matching of well-known packet fields and metadata.
   Offload of the TC Flower classifier and related modules provides a
powerful mechanism to both increase throughput and reduce CPU
utilisation for users of such flow-based systems.

   The command "ethtool -N" can provide similar function.

Afaik ethtool settings is very limited to rx queue steering. 

If you want more actions, like vlan modification, tunnels, forward, etc,
you should use tc-flower

   Now, hip08 SOC has flow classifier hardware offload capacity, which
tools we should support in HNS kernel driver?
   Can you give some suggestion?
