Please change all places in mlx5 in one patch.

Your call as a mlx5 maintainer, but I'd say don't change them at all.
All these trivial patches are such a damn waste of time.

I agree, let's not waste more time on this, I will accept this patch as is
since it's already marked awating-upstream..
Applied to net-next-mlx5
