From MAE standpoint, a flow rule belongs to some class. Field capabilities advertised by the FW provide a hint on whether changing a particular match field value or its mask will affect the class of the rule. A client driver can make use of the concept of a class by comparing a rule being validated with already inserted ones so that if an existing rule with the same class is encountered, it will become possible to skip making an explicit request to the FW because the class of an already inserted rule is wittingly valid. Implement an API for client drivers to carry out the said class comparison.
