Why it is needed ?

Queue offload is also a port offload, for the simple case it is enabled on each of the queues.
PMDs should report rx[tx]_offload_capa = port_offloads | queue_offloads

So from the application side it enables a **port** offload which, by definition, will set the offload to each of the queues.
it is not “enabling queue offload on the port”.
