Yes,The tc auto-generate a priority.  But if there is no pre tcf_proto, the priority is also set as a default.

In nftables each rule no priortiy for each other. So It is enough to set a default value which is similar as the

tc.

static inline u32 tcf_auto_prio(struct tcf_proto *tp)
{
    u32 first = TC_H_MAKE(0xC0000000U, 0U);

    if (tp)
        first = tp->prio - 1;

    return TC_H_MAJ(first);
}
