So mlx5_core-m does the right thing somehow?

IIRC that isn't what the expression does, if vxlan is 'n' then
n || !n == true
The other version of this is (m || VXLAN != m)
Basically all it does is prevent MLX5_CORE=y && VXLAN=m

No, you just use VXLAN directly, it will be m, n or y, but it won't be
m if mlx5_core is y
