Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the patch, I will suggest some slight modifications and we
will handle it and re-post the patch.

I would rather wrap the whole mlx5e_features_check with the suggested
config flag and disable it in case CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN_VXLAN is OFF,
since this function is only needed for when vxlan is supported.

Same here.
