Subject: [net-next 1/9] net/mlx5e: Remove limitation of single NIC offloaded TC action per rule

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com>

Remove the limitation that offloaded NIC filters can have only one
action. This allows us for example to provide flow tag as a note
to upper layers / apps that that HW header re-write was applied.
