1) Dima, adds an internal mlx5 steering callback per steering provider
(FW vs SW steering), to advertise steering capabilities implemented by
each module, this helps upper modules in mlx5 to know what is
supported and what's not without the need to tell what is the underlying
steering mode.
2nd patch is the usecase where this interface is used to implement
Vlan Push/pop for uplink with SW steering, where in FW mode it's not
supported yet.
2) Roi Dayan improves code readability and maintainability
as preparation step for multi attribute instance per flow
in mlx5 TC module
Currently the mlx5_flow object contains a single mlx5_attr instance.
However, multi table actions (e.g. CT) instantiate multiple attr instances.
This is a refactoring series in a preparation to support multiple
attribute instances per flow.
The commits prepare functions to get attr instance instead of using
flow->attr and also using attr->flags if the flag is more relevant
to be attr flag and not a flow flag considering there will be multiple
attr instances. i.e. CT and SAMPLE flags.

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.
