No, we don't have such as it is so rare situation that we have fix for
shared branch. I wrote here mlx5-next target because this patch changes
the shared mlx5_ifc.h file and for the visibility, but it doesn't affect
mlx5 eth devices.

Most likely, we will end taking this patch directly to rdma-rc and sending
as part of usual PR to Linus.
