Are you sure you tried hard to manage them with a common code?

Last time we asked such question, it was for DLB,
and it became clear later that it should be the same code,
otherwise you fix bugs two times, etc.

I understand it is a new silicon, but do you know the net driver mlx5
is the same for various hardware of the last 10 years?
