Subject: [vhost next 0/2] mlx5 vdpa fix netdev status

Hi Michael,

the following two patches aim to fix a failure to set the vdpa driver
status bit VIRTIO_NET_S_LINK_UP thus causing failure to bring the link
up. I break it to two patches:

1. Introduce proper mlx5 API to set 16 bit status fields per virtio
requirements.
2. Fix the failure to set the bit

Eli Cohen (2):
  vdpa/mlx5: Make use of a specific 16 bit endianness API
  vdpa/mlx5: Fix failure to bring link up
