For ease of review if there's a new version it might be as well to just reference it anyway, hopefully the mlx5 code will be merged fairly quickly once the bus itself is merged. It's probably easier all round than adding the reference later, it seems more likely that mlx5 will get merged than that it'll fall by the wayside.
