Various compilers will warn about missing parens in that expression.
It is valid but mixing & and || can be bug trap.

if ((dev->features & NETIF_F_LLTX) || (dev->priv_flags & IFF_NO_QUEUE))
return false;

Not all drivers will be using bql, it requires driver to have that code.
So really it means driver could be using BQL.
Not sure if there is a way to find out if driver has the required BQL bits.
