These sentences are hard to read, the wording is very awkward.

Have no detailed insight into the mlx5 matching but maybe this wording:

In switch mode, when the ``repr_matching_en`` flag is used then matching
with ingress comparison is not supported because an implicit rule is required
to match the REPRESENTED_PORT. And that implicit rule would conflict with the
ingress compare rule.
