When using the 5.10 kernel, I can find two IB devices using the 
ibv_devinfo command.

But after the two network ports are bonded, only one IB device is
available, and only PF0 can be used.

                 port:   1
                         state:                  PORT_ACTIVE (4)
                         max_mtu:                4096 (5)
                         active_mtu:             1024 (3)
                         sm_lid:                 0
                         port_lid:               0
                         port_lmc:               0x00
                         link_layer:             Ethernet

The current Linux mainline driver is the same.

I found the comment ("If bonded, we do not add an IB device for PF1.")
in the mlx5_lag_intf_add function of the 5.10 branch driver code.
This indicates that wthe the same NIC is used, only PF0 support bonding?
Are there any other constraints, when enable bonding with CX5?

Thank you
