Bodong Wang c96692fb8f net/mlx5: E-Switch, Allow transition to offloads mode for ECPF
Currently, the e-switch driver requires going to legacy mode before
changing to the offloads mode. This makes sense for regular case as
the legacy mode is done by creating VFs.

However, it's problematic when ECPF is the eswitch manager. In such
case, ECPF will control the vports on peer host including the peer
PF and VFs. But ECPF doesn't need and shall not create VFs as the
VFs are created in the peer PF host.

Grant ECPF the ability to change from none to the offloads mode. Note
that currently the only way to go back to none mode is by unloading
the ECPF driver.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
