What is this??

Used here..

And format comes from a ucmd, so that enum is upai.

Put it in the right place and put the right comment beside
struct mlx5_ib_create_cq's cqe_comp_res_format..

And what is wrong with the user space patches? Where is the update to
enum mlx5dv_cqe_comp_res_format ? And why is this wrong?

struct mlx5dv_cq_init_attr {
        uint64_t comp_mask; /* Use enum mlx5dv_cq_init_attr_mask */
        uint8_t cqe_comp_res_format; /* Use enum mlx5dv_cqe_comp_res_format */
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No, it isn't, and there isn't even an enum for it. Are you sure this is
designed right? Looks pretty wrong to me.

Fix it all please, and you need to arrange things to share the uapi
header with dv just like verbs is doing.

No more of this lax attitude toward uapi!
