OK, here is the reason. In taprio_set_picos_per_byte(), it init NIC speed to
SPEED_10. If the NIC doesn't support get_link_ksettings, the final calculated
picos_per_byte would be a extremely large number 800000. The later tc taprio
testing `tc qdisc ... sched-entry S 02 300` will always failed in
fill_sched_entry(), as min_duration is also a large number 48000.
After we supports get_link_ksettings for netdevsim, the speed is 5000 and
picos_per_byte will be init to 1600. The later min_duration checking in
fill_sched_entry() is 300 vs 96. So the tc qdisc command always return 0.
To fix the test, I think we should reduce the interval number. e.g.
