When I said that "this condition is dealt with by the core, now"
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240819114242.2m6okk7bq64e437c@skbuf/
I meant that the driver doesn't need to check anything - the check has
already run once, in the Qdisc layer. See taprio_parse_tc_entries() and
mqprio_parse_tc_entries(). I was not asking to insert this test, just to
completely remove, rather than adapt, the entire block:

	if (fpe && !priv->dma_cap.fpesel) {
		mutex_unlock(&priv->est_lock);
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;
	}
