A few commit log rewording suggestions for clarity and a couple of
additional comments below, otherwise patch looks fine.

I suggest dropping "priv" from everywhere in this function including its
name. It's a static helper not even exposed, no need to be consistent with
other priv* functions for the sake of consistency if the parameter is
unnecessary.

On a personal note, I noticed how complex (convoluted?) mlx5 flow rule
handling code turned lately due to all the added features, unforeseen issues
and the resulting workarounds, partly caused by the limited number of
available priorities on the Verbs side. I think we're nearing another major
rewrite.
