[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/7] net/mlx5: add eCPRI flex parser capacity check

[Bing Zhao <bingz@mellanox.com>]

If the NIC or the FW does not support the dynamic flex parser,
it will return error when trying to create the parser for eCRPI.
Then it is hard to know the detail error reason of the failure.
Before creating the parser node and the following usage of the
parser, the capacity bit saved in the HCA_CAP could be used to
confirm if the dynamic flex parser is supported.
If no, an error will be returned directly with ENOTSUP to prevent
the following steps to be executed.
