The tcp-data-split-thresh option configures the threshold value of

If a received packet size is larger than this threshold value, a packet
will be split into header and payload.
The header indicates TCP header, but it depends on driver spec.
The bnxt_en driver supports HDS(Header-Data-Split) configuration at
FW level, affecting TCP and UDP too.
So, like the tcp-data-split option, If tcp-data-split-thresh is set,
it affects UDP and TCP packets.

What about non-tcp/udp packets? Are they are not split?
It is possible that they may be split at L3 payload for IP/IPV6 packets and L2 payload for non-ip packets. So instead of calling this option as tcp-data-split-thresh, can we call it header-data-split-thresh?



The tcp-data-split-thresh has a dependency, that is tcp-data-split
option. This threshold value can be get/set only when tcp-data-split
option is enabled.

Even the existing 'tcp-data-split' name is misleading. Not sure if it will be possible to change this now.
