Before this commit setting scatter offload was based on checking
net_nfp device.
Since DPDK 17.11 more PMD drivers are reporting offload
capabilities. Therefore this commit removes the specific check
against net_nfp device and replaces it with a generic check of
device capabilities before setting the scatter offload.

Don’t think we need to clear it explicitly, none of the other 
capabilities do this.
For the rest this patch look good to me.

The other capabilities do clear explicitly.
There is a difference between NETDEV_RX_HW_SCATTER flag (which should be set or cleared in dpdk_eth_dev_init()) and DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER flag (which is only set in dpdk_eth_dev_port_config()). 

Flags of type "NETDEV_RX_XXXXXX" are cleared explicitly. For example, we clear:
dev->hw_ol_features &= ~NETDEV_RX_HW_CRC_STRIP;
dev->hw_ol_features &= ~NETDEV_RX_CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD;

in the following code snippet:
    if (strstr(info.driver_name, "vf") != NULL) {
        VLOG_INFO("Virtual function detected, HW_CRC_STRIP will be enabled");
        dev->hw_ol_features |= NETDEV_RX_HW_CRC_STRIP;
    } else {
        dev->hw_ol_features &= ~NETDEV_RX_HW_CRC_STRIP;
    }

    if ((info.rx_offload_capa & rx_chksm_offload_capa) !=
            rx_chksm_offload_capa) {
        VLOG_WARN("Rx checksum offload is not supported on port "
                  DPDK_PORT_ID_FMT, dev->port_id);
        dev->hw_ol_features &= ~NETDEV_RX_CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD;
    } else {
        dev->hw_ol_features |= NETDEV_RX_CHECKSUM_OFFLOAD;
    }

    if (info.rx_offload_capa & DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER) {
        dev->hw_ol_features |= NETDEV_RX_HW_SCATTER;
    } else {
        /* Do not warn on lack of scatter support */
        dev->hw_ol_features &= ~NETDEV_RX_HW_SCATTER;
    }

During configuration we only set DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER flag:
    if (dev->mtu > ETHER_MTU) {
        if (dev->hw_ol_features & NETDEV_RX_HW_SCATTER) {
            conf.rxmode.offloads |= DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER;

I suggest keeping the patch as is.

I agree, and the rest of this patch is fine.
