I think what you want is the patch below (your patch 2, after removing
CONNECTX5, CONNECTX5_EX, and CONNECTX6 since they're only used in one
place).

We added definitions for CONNECTIB, CONNECTX4, and CONNECTX4_LX and uses of
them in a quirk via:

  7254383341bc ("PCI: Add Mellanox device IDs")
  d76d2fe05fd9 ("PCI: Convert Mellanox broken INTx quirks to be for listed
  devices only")

But somehow we missed using those in mlx5/core/main.c.

The patch below doesn't touch PCI, so it would be just for netdev.
