I don't understand the rationale, the new input_xfrm field didn't
deserve a selftest, why does a new value to the field does?

Testing this would require new userspace ethtool (which has not been
submitted yet), I don't think it's wise to implement a test before the
user interface/output is merged.

I assume you want an additional case in rss_ctx.py?
