Subject: [net-next 13/13] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Allow transition to offloads mode for ECPF

From: Bodong Wang <bodong@...lanox.com>

Currently, the e-switch driver requires going to legacy mode before
changing to the offloads mode. This makes sense for regular case as
the legacy mode is done by creating VFs.

However, it's problematic when ECPF is the eswitch manager. In such
case, ECPF will control the vports on peer host including the peer
PF and VFs. But ECPF doesn't need and shall not create VFs as the
VFs are created in the peer PF host.

Grant ECPF the ability to change from none to the offloads mode. Note
that currently the only way to go back to none mode is by unloading
the ECPF driver.
