Those are mlx5 device values not uapi.

This is some conversion between the uapi to the device values.

Correct, see mlx5-abi.h as part of this patch.

See the first patch from below PR [1], it brings the new enum value to 
the user area as part of kernel-headers/rdma/mlx5-abi.h.

The user space uses the DV prefix (e.g. 
MLX5DV_CQE_RES_FORMAT_CSUM_STRIDX), no change from previous flags around 
enum mlx5dv_cqe_comp_res_format.
