Hi Ido, no news?

Do you have a preference for these patches getting merged for 5.18 
or waiting after the merge window? IOW I'm wondering if it's more
beneficial for potential backports / out-of-tree builds to have the
ability to lock the devlink instance in 5.18 already or to do as much
of the conversions as possible in a single release (that'd mean waiting
for 5.19)?

If there's no clear preference I'll go for 5.18.

I have the eswitch mode conversion patches almost ready with the
"almost" being mlx5. I may just give up on that one and unlock/lock
in the handler :S
