  net/mlx5e: Remove overzealous validations in netlink EEPROM query (2022-03-10 23:38:25 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
mlx5-updates-2022-03-10

1) Leon removes useless includes from both mlx5 and mlx4
2) Tariq adds node awareness to some object allocations
3) Gal Cleanups and improvements to EEPROM query
4) Paul adds Software steering to Connection Tracking, to speed up
   CT Rules insertion.

Paul Blakey Says:
=================
To improve insertion rate, this series allows for using software
steering API directly instead of going through the fs_core layer.
This can be done for CT because it doesn't need fs_core layer extra
facilities, such as autogroups, FTE IDs and modifications (which require
a copy of the flow key/mask). Skipping fs_core layer also allows to
create the software steering objects (dr_* objects) ahead of time and
re-use them for multiple rules, whereas software steering under fs_core
creates them on the fly and discards them. This in turn increased insertion
rate.

The series first introduces a lightweight CT flow steering provider
with the first implementations using fs_core layer, and moves CT to use it.
The next patches implement a provider using software steering directly,
bypassing fs_core, and uses it if software steering is available.
