No need this check, we can init use_flex as true;

Check if rxq->rxdid is in supported list is not necessary, this has been  guaranteed when we set it.

Also its better to print some warning message here,  if we saw some rxq->rxdid is flex and some rxq->rxdid is legacy as we have to set rx_burst as legacy for all , this is something not be expected by user
