+ * Tc matches on inner after decapsulation on tunnel device, but hw offload matches
+ * the inner ip_ecn value before hardware decap action.
+ *
+ * Cells marked are changed from original inner packet ip_ecn value during decap, and
+ * so matching those values on inner ip_ecn before decap will fail.
+ *
+ * The following helper allows offload when inner ip_ecn won't be changed by outer ip_ecn,
+ * except for the outer ip_ecn = CE, where in all cases inner ip_ecn will be changed to CE,
+ * and such we can drop the inner ip_ecn=CE match.
