  The driver offers per-interface DWRR params configuration with HTB offload.
  Below are example commands having different classid with same priority value

tc class add dev ethx parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 10Gbit prio 1 quantum 2048
tc class add dev ethx parent 1: classid 1:2 htb rate 10Gbit prio 1 quantum 3048

Due to a hardware limitation, only a single DWRR group is supported on a transmit level.
To address this for physical functions (PFs) sharing a transmit level with their virtual functions (VFs),
 a devlink option implemented to configure a priority value.
