ok, got you. We err on the match parsing stage, this is relatively
new.. up to 5.0
we were erring only on the  action parsing stage. The patch seems fine, it would
be good to modify  mlx5e_netdev_kind() to return "unkown" and not the
empty string
("") when the netdev doesn't have a kind assigned (can do this in this patch).
