Tested etf with offload, looks like working correctly.

1. mqprio
tc qdisc add dev enp1s0 handle 100: parent root mqprio num_tc 3 \
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \
queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 \
hw 0

No reset adapter observed.

2. etf with offload
tc qdisc replace dev enp1s0 parent 100:1 etf \
clockid CLOCK_TAI delta 300000 offload

Reset adapter observed (tx mode legacy -> tsn).

3. delete qdisc
tc qdisc delete dev enp1s0 parent root handle 100

Reset adapter observed (tx mode tsn -> legacy).
