I did verify the existing so_txtime selftest for the same which does FQ 
and ETF tests which sends/recieve packets with both mono and tai clocks. 

OK. All tests passed (so_txtime.sh) 
Sometimes i saw resource temporarily unavailable in RX which i believe is a 
known issue 
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kselftest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06792.html

Along with this i also did mqprio + etf offload testing on internal platform. 
1. iperf3 best effort testing UDP/TCP 
2. Sent ETF packets from userspace application just like so_txtime.c but 
with SO_PRIORITY and added dumpstack to check the flow of packets. I saw no
issues on internal platform.  
3. I will mention all the testing in Tx/Rx path done for v3 patch.
