Capability flags are there for raw data path APIs but the PMD can support both APIs. And we need to test both data paths. So for this we have a global variable to enable raw data path and we register a new Command for the PMD and enable that global flag while doing that. The tests, however have the capability flags checks in place but we decide to enable Raw APIs only when the PMD support that and that global flag is set. I hope it is clear now.
