Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/6] selftests: drv-net: gro: improve feature config

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 16:51:19 -0800

We'll need to do a lot more feature handling to test HW-GRO and LRO.
Clean up the feature handling for SW GRO a bit to let the next commit
focus on the new test cases, only.

Make sure HW GRO-like features are not enabled for the SW tests.
Be more careful about changing features as "nothing changed"
situations may result in non-zero error code from ethtool.

Don't disable TSO on the local interface (receiver) when running over
netdevsim, we just want GSO to break up the segments on the sender.

v2:
 - reoder the imports
 - fix restoring all features - don't assume all the features
   have to be flipped, some may have already been in desired state
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/[email-masked]
