Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix potential null dereference when enable
 shared FDB

-ENXIO indicates "No such device or address". I've found that in mlx5/core, if mlx5_get_flow_namespace() returns null, it basically returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

I would return -ENXIO in such cases, you were searching and not found that.

IOW it is obvious that dereferencing a null ptr is not supported.

If you agree, please apply the same comment for your other patch:
