it depends on how often bpf-next gets synced with net-next, mlx5
constantly changes and
I can't gurantee no merge conflicts will occur.
IMHO, this series is more focused on device drivers and less on XDP or BPF,
so it makes more sense to post it to net-next, it will be less pain
for everyone,
especially for you Jesper :).
