Subject: [PATCH 5.1 39/62] net/mlx5e: Fix port tunnel GRE entropy control

From: Eli Britstein <elibr@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 914adbb1bcf89478ac138318d28b302704564d59 ]

GRE entropy calculation is a single bit per card, and not per port.
Force disable GRE entropy calculation upon the first GRE encap rule,
and release the force at the last GRE encap rule removal. This is done
per port.
