Currently we have the limitation that warnings cannot be reported though
extack. For example, when tc flower failed to get offloaded but got
installed on software datapath. The hardware failure is not fatal and
thus extack is not even shared with the driver, so the error is simply
omitted from any logging.

If this set ends up moving forward, the above statement needs to be
corrected: extack allows non-error messages to be sent back to the user,
so the above must be talking about some other limitation local to tc.

Right.

Thanks,
