Hi Leon,
I've put this into my wip/dl-for-next branch. Because it pulled in the
mlx5-next tree (which was significant because the patch we wanted was at
the tip and a whole slew of other patches were before it), the changeset
for this patch looks much bigger. And it had the merge conflict you
mentioned. You might want to double check my work before it gets moved
over to the official for-next branch.
