Subject: [PATCH mlx5-next 0/5] Mellanox, mlx5 roce enable devlink parameter

Hi All,

Currently RoCE is always enabled by default in mlx5 and there is no option
for the user to disable it.

This change introduces new generic devlink param "enable_roce". 
User should set desired param value and reload the driver to get
desired configuration.

Two options for reload:
1) reload mlx5_ib driver.
2) reload via devlink, once the devlink mlx5 reload support [1]
lands in net-next branch, after this series is applied.

mlx5 devlink reload is not part of this patchset since it depends on
changes from net-next tree.

RoCE will still be enabled by default after this change.

In case of no objection this series will be applied to mlx5-next branch
and sent later as pull request to both rdma-next and net-next branches.

Thanks,
Saeed.
