From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bad861f31bb15a99becef31aab59640eaeb247e2 ] mlxfw can be compiled as external module while mlx5_core can be builtin, in such case mlx5 will act like mlxfw is disabled. Since mlxfw is just a service library for mlx* drivers, imply it in mlx5_core to make it always reachable if it was enabled.
