Thank you for taking a look, it seems I have done a particularly bad
job rebasing
the patch on top of the previous fix, leaving only the wrong bits ;-)

Ah right, I did get a link failure with my test build, but it was an
unrelated one:

ld: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/esw/sample.o: in function
`mlx5_esw_sample_skb':
sample.c:(.text+0x5b4): undefined reference to `psample_sample_packet'

I think that one needs

mlx5 ConnectX offloads support for TC classifier action (NET_CLS_ACT),

but this is unrelated and I have not tested that.

Ok.

Ah right, I actually noticed that earlier and then forgot to remove that hunk.

Also: is this actually intended or should the driver call
switchdev_bridge_port_offload() like the other switchdev drivers do?

I think the fix was wrong here, and that hunk should be reverted.
The dependency was added to a bool option, where it does not have
the intended effect.

I think this is the only remaining thing needed from my patch, so
the NET_MAY_USE_SWITCHDEV option is not needed either,
and it could be written as:

This enables switchdev support for TI K3 CPSWxG Ethernet

If this looks correct to you, I can submit it as a standalone patch.
