  i40e can support RSS no matter if SR-IOV is enabled or not, while
ixgbe/igb can not support RSS if it is SR-IOV. Code changes are
needed to support i40e RSS if SR-IOV is enabled.

This kind of knowledge should be coded in the drivers.
Application writer doesn't have to read the datasheet to use the drivers.
I think returning an error in the driver could be enough to handle it at
application level.

Thanks
