Misc mlx5 updates:
1) SW steering, Vports handling and SFs support
From Yevgeny Kliteynik
======================
This patch series deals with vport handling in SW steering.
For every vport, SW steering queries FW for this vport's properties,
such as RX/TX ICM addresses to be able to add this vport as dest action.
The following patches rework vport capabilities managements and add support
for Scalable Functions (SFs).
- Patch 1 fixes the vport number data type all over the DR code to 16 bits
in accordance with HW spec.
- Patch 2 replaces local SW steering WIRE_PORT macro with the existing
mlx5 define.
- Patch 3 adds missing query for vport 0 and and handles eswitch manager
capabilities for ECPF (BlueField in embedded CPU mode).
- Patch 4 fixes error messages for failure to obtain vport caps from
different locations in the code to have the same verbosity level and
similar wording.
- Patch 5 adds support for csum recalculation flow tables on SFs: it
implements these FTs management in XArray instead of the fixed size array,
thus adding support for csum recalculation table for any valid vport.
- Patch 6 is the main patch of this whole series: it refactors vports
capabilities handling and adds SFs support.

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.
