Just out of curiosity:

Does SF use mdev before aux bus is introduced in kernel. I see some history
of it but am not sure: [1] seems SF was base on mdev. [2] seems BlueField
software v2.5 is using mdev for SF. I saw it yesterday and try to figure
out the history. Since you are here, guess you know something 😊
