Re: [PATCH net v2 2/3] taprio: Allow users not to specify "flags" when changing schedules

When any offload mode is enabled, users had to specify the
"flags" parameter when adding a new "admin" schedule.

This fix allows that parameter to be omitted when adding a new
schedule.

This will make that we have one source of truth for 'flags'.

This will visibly change behavior for a feature in a released
kernel (v5.3 and later) and it means that newer tools will do
things that don't work in older kernels.

I think your opportunity to adjust these semantics, has therefore,
long passed.

Sorry.
