Yes, so I added those two flags and ended up writing a test-module for
the device (which I will include while posting the patch-series).
However, adding those flags is also not sufficient since the qdisc is
initialized to noop_qdisc so qdisc enqueue will drop packets before
hitting the ndo_start_xmit().
