[ Upstream commit aefb62a9988749703435e941704624949a80a2a9 ] When setting Bluefield to DPU NIC mode using mlxconfig tool + sync firmware reset flow, we run into scenario where the host was not eswitch manager at the time of mlx5 driver load but becomes eswitch manager after the sync firmware reset flow. This results in null pointer access of mpfs structure during mac filter add. This change prevents null pointer access but mpfs table entries will not be added.

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.
