When in switchdev mode and the add function is called by the core level driver, make sure we only register the callbacks, but don't create the mlx5 IB device or initialize anything. With this change all the IB devices in switchdev mode are created only once the load callback is invoked by the e-switch core sub-module. This follows the design paradigm under which the all the Eth representors must be loaded before any of IB reprs is loaded.

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.
