I'm thinking this check is far too simplistic.  If you look the fm10k
driver already has fm10k_tx_encap_offload() in the TSO function for
verifying if it can support offloading tunnels or not.  I would
recommend starting there or possibly even just adapting that function to
suit your purpose.

Thanks,
