Subject: net/mlx5e: Check for qos capability in dcbnl_initialize
From: Huy Nguyen <huyn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 33c52b6718d2a6cb414440c98560818910d896dc ]
qos capability is the master capability bit that determines
if the DCBX is supported for the PCI function. If this bit is off,
driver cannot run any dcbx code.
