net/mlx5e: Remove workaround to avoid syndrome for internal port
[ Upstream commit 5085f861b414e4a51ce28a891dfa32a10a54b64e ]
Previously a workaround was added to avoid syndrome 0xcdb051. It is
triggered when offload a rule with tunnel encapsulation, and
forwarding to another table, but not matching on the internal port in
firmware steering mode. The original workaround skips internal tunnel
port logic, which is not correct as not all cases are considered. As
an example, if vlan is configured on the uplink port, traffic can't
pass because vlan header is not added with this workaround. Besides,
there is no such issue for software steering. So, this patch removes
that, and returns error directly if trying to offload such rule for
firmware steering.
Fixes: 06b4eac9c4be ("net/mlx5e: Don't offload internal port if filter device is out device")
