This sounds very wrong. In switchdev mode, there is no implicit packet forwarding. User configures that, either by setting up TC filters to match/forward packets, putting representors in a bridge, etc. Basically the driver offloads whatever configuration on representors the user does, in case it supports it.
Please make sure you follow that.
