why?
A driver code doesn't expect to change an input IB core property (i.e
qp_type). Specifically the DC QP type does not expect to be recognized
out of the mlx5 driver, for that reason a sub qp type will be used as
part of V2 in the mlx5 driver code.
So what you are saying is the core logic being good for all
QP types X all drivers X all transports and only mlx5/DC needs this different
treatment? interesting, so what is the source for this misalignment?
We believe that it doesn't justify a core refactoring for that specific
mask checking.
