Similar comment for the mlx4 one, copying here:
Why 'RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_DEBUG' exists at first place?
It seems is is used both for data and control path, can you extend the patch for:
1- Remove #ifdef from control path
2- Replace with 'RTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG_RX' & 'RTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG_TX' for data path,
please see: https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=15738
3- Remove 'RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_DEBUG' completely, if not removed document it in the
driver documentation as supported config file
Both for 'mlx4' and 'mlx5', I will continue with existing patch, but can it be
possible to make additional patches to address above issues?
