The XFRM code performs fallback to software IPsec if .xdo_dev_state_add() returns -EOPNOTSUPP. This is what mlx5 did very deep in its stack trace, despite have all the knowledge that IPsec is not going to work in very early stage. This is achieved by making sure that priv->ipsec pointer is valid for fully working and supported hardware crypto IPsec engine. In case, the hardware IPsec is not supported, the XFRM code will set NULL to xso->dev and it will prevent from calls to various .xdo_dev_state_*() callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
