Why is TC flow offload APIs being added in netdev-vport ?

For linux TC offloads I believe a device needs to be present in linux
to operate on. As per my understanding netdev-vport classes are used
to represent tunnels (vxlan, gre etc.) and none of them creates a linux device.

All the TC offload related APIs will anyway fail because these netdev's do
not have if-index in linux.

Do we have a representation of netdev-vport netdev's in linux
similar to netdev-linux ?

Warm Regards,
Vishal Ajmera
