As I said already, I strongly disagree with the idea that the netdev
maintainers get a global veto on what happens with mlx5 devices just
because they sometimes have an ethernet port on the back of the card.

This module is primarily (but not exclusively) for rdma related
functionality, not netdev, and the RDMA maintainers Ack it.
