I did some research. 0/DEVICE_DEFAULT should not be ever reported back
from FW. It's purpose is for user to reset to default FW configuration.
What's the usecase for that? I think you could just avoid
0/DEVICE_DEFAULT entirely, for both get and set.
I find that 0/DEVICE_DEFAULT is reported back on my device. I have
observed this same behavior when using the mstconfig tool for setting
the parameter too.
e.g.
$ dmesg | grep -i mlx | grep -i firmware
[ 10.165767] mlx5_core 0000:01:00.0: firmware version: 28.46.1006
$ ./mstconfig -d 01:00.0 -b ./mlxconfig_host.db query SWP_L4_CHECKSUM_MODE
