Ok, thanks. I just ran into one more issue, and don't know if that's included
as well. If not, please also add the patch below (or fold it into the one
that adds the switchdev dependency to the ethernet driver):

Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/bnxt_re: add NET_SWITCHDEV dependency

The rdma side of BNXT enables the ethernet driver and has a list
of its dependencies. However, the ethernet driver now also depends
on NET_SWITCHDEV, so we have to add that dependency for both:

warning: (INFINIBAND_BNXT_RE) selects BNXT which has unmet direct
dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_BROADCOM && PCI &&
MAY_USE_DEVLINK && NET_SWITCHDEV)
