> Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] net/mlx5: add flow validation of eCPRI header
> 
> When creating a flow with eCPRI header item, the validation of it is
> mandatory. The detailed limitations are listed below:
>   1. Over Ether / VLAN, ethertype must be 0xAEFE.
>   2. No tunnel support is described in the specification now.
>   3. L3 layer is only supported when L4 is UDP, see #4.
>   4. Over TCP is not supported from the specification, and over UDP
>      is not supported right now.
>   5. Concatenation indicator matching is not supported now.
>   6. No need to check the revision.
>   7. Only type field in the common header is mandatory, and one byte
>      should be matched integrally.
>   8. Fields in the message payload header are optional.
>   9. Only messages with type #0, #2 and #5 are supported now.
> 
> Some limitations are only from software right now, because there is no need
> to support all the message types and variants of protocol stack listed in the
> specification.
