Fixes: 60fb9567bf30 ("udp: implement complete book-keeping for encap_needed")

IMHO this not fix. Which bug are you observing that is addressed here?

I thought that introduction of encap_enabled should go further to switch the
code to check this particular flag and leave encap_type as a description of
specific type (or subtype) of used encapsulation.

Than to me it looks more like a refactor than a fix. Is this strictly
needed by the following patch? if not, I suggest to consider net-next
as a target for this patch, or even better, drop it altogether.

Looks like it isn't strictly needed for the following patch. Do you think that
such refactor would lead to more harm than benefits provided by clearness of
usage of encap_enable and encap_type fields? I mean why do you think that it's
better to drop it?
Thanks!
