OK, to summarize (after discussions with Ferruh and Thomas):
1. assert/NDEBUG in mlx5 should be fixed
2 in mlx5 assert should be replaced by MLX5_ASSERT macro, it provides "in-development" assert control if needed
3. mlx5 PMDs local debug configuration option will be removed from global build configuration
(it is absent in meson build now, and as makefile is subject to drop - this option will not be supported anymore)
4. The patch in subject ("net/mlx5: engage free on completion queue") is not related to bullets 1-3 and
should be accepted to Upstream, and the is the claimed commitment from my side to provide
the dedicated patch for 1-3.
With best regards, Slava
