Yes everything is initialized correctly. The netdev itself is configured and usable from Linux (ping etc.). Just removing the over-strict check in mlx5 PMD is enough for everything to work fine: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/26152/1/build/external/patches/dpdk_20.02/0002-mlx5-azure-workaround.patch
The link speed is unknown but this is not issue, and link state and other link info are correctly reported.
Thomas, any input regarding this behavior in mlx5 PMD?

Thx
ben
