[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] net/mlx5: avoid unbind step to enable switchdev mode

[Jan Viktorin]

From: Jan Viktorin <viktorin at cesnet.cz>

The step 4 is a contradiction. It advices to unbind the device from the
mlx5_core which removes the associated system network interface (e.g.
eth0). In the step 5, the same system network interface (e.g. eth0) is
required to exist.
