Merge branch 'net-mlx5-hws-improve-ip-version-handling'

Mark Bloch says:

====================
net/mlx5: HWS, Improve IP version handling

This small series hardens our checks against a single matcher containing
rules that match on IPv4 and IPv6. This scenario is not supported by
hardware steering and the implementation now signals this instead of
failing silently.

Patches:
* Patch 1 forbids a single definer to match on mixed IP versions for
  source and destination address.
* Patch 2 reproduces a couple of firmware checks: it forbids creating
  a definer that matches on IP address without matching on IP version,
  and also disallows matching on IPv6 addresses and the IPv4 IHL fields
  in the same definer.
* Patch 3 forbids mixing rules that match on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
  the same matcher. The underlying definer mechanism does not support
  that.
