Hi, The PMD has two paths which can parse the RTE_FLOW items, items, etc.. The path which is returning the error is considered legacy. The other path is initialized depending on a firmware setting. Since the NIC you are using is running an older version, the newer RTE_FLOW offload path is not getting initialized.
I am trying to get the link to the appropriate FW image for you to download. I will share it soon.
