This series consists of some fixes and refactors for the mlx5 drivers, especially around the FPGA and flow steering. Most of them are trivial fixes and are the foundation of allowing IPSec acceleration from user-space. We use flow steering abstraction in order to accelerate IPSec packets. When a user creates a steering rule, [s]he states that we'll carry an encrypt/decrypt flow action (using a specific configuration) for every packet which conforms to a certain match. Since currently offloading these packets is done via FPGA, we'll add another set of flow steering ops. These ops will execute the required FPGA commands and then call the standard steering ops. In order to achieve this, we need that the commands will get all the required information. Therefore, we pass the fte object and embed the flow_action struct inside the fte. In addition, we add the shim layer that will later be used for alternating between the standard and the FPGA steering commands. Some fixes, like " net/mlx5e: Wait for FPGA command responses with a timeout" are very relevant for user-space applications, as these applications could be killed, but we still want to wait for the FPGA and update the kernel's database.
