Actually, you need to respin this and fix the following warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c: In function ‘mlx5e_uplink_rep_disable’:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_rep.c:1864:21: warning: unused variable ‘netdev’ [-Wunused-variable]
  struct net_device *netdev = priv->netdev;
                     ^~~~~~

You can retain Saeed's ACK when you do this.

Thank you.
