Subject: [PATCH] mlx5: add parameter to disable enhanced IPoIB
Patch-mainline: Never, better fix based on netlink is being worked on
References: bsc#1142095

Recent ConnextX-[45] HCA have enhanced IPoIB enabled which prevents the use of the connected mode.
Although not an issue in a fully compatible setup, it can be an issue in a mixed HW one.

Mellanox OFED uses a ipoib_enhanced flag on the ib_ipoib module to work around the issue.
This patch adds a similarly name flag to the mlx5_ib module to disable enhanced IPoIB for
all mlx5 HCA and allow users to pick datagram/connected the usual way.
