Hardware doesn't support packet segmentation when segment size
is < 16 bytes. Hence add an additional check and use SW 
segmentation in such case.

How is this driver doing SW segmentation at this stage ?

You might perform this check in ndo_features_check() instead ?

otx2_sq_append_skb() is also forcing a linearization if
skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags >= OTX2_MAX_FRAGS_IN_SQE

This is quite bad, this one definitely should use ndo_features_check()
to mask NETIF_F_GSO_MASK for GSO packets.

Look at typhoon_features_check() for an example.
