Always use MLX5_FLOW_TABLE_OTHER_VPORT flag when creating egress ACL
table for single FDB. Not doing so on BlueField will make firmware fail
the command. On BlueField the E-Switch manager is the ECPF (vport 0xFFFE)
which is filled in the flow table creation command but as the
other_vport field wasn't set the firmware complains about a bad parameter.
This is different from a regular HCA where the E-Switch manager vport is
the PF (vport 0x0). Passing MLX5_FLOW_TABLE_OTHER_VPORT will make the
firmware happy both on BlueField and on regular HCAs without special
condition for each.
This fixes the bellow firmware syndrome:
mlx5_cmd_check:819:(pid 571): CREATE_FLOW_TABLE(0x930) op_mod(0x0) failed, status bad parameter(0x3), syndrome (0x754a4)

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.
