And i am afraid this bothers me greatly.
You already have ways to achieve what you need by setting proper policy,
the difference in configuration is an extra one policy line you have to
type in. Adding yet another #ifdef is really going overboard.

tc_index could be used for classification actually. If you "continue"
you could hit another classifier which looks at it.

I mean:

#ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT
.... leave this part alone which already sets tc_index ...
#else
...set tc_index and mark here ...
#endif

And when we have a metadata action - we remove setting of tc_index from
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT

Did that make sense?
