Merge branch 'mlx5-misc-fixes-2025-10-22' (2025-10-23 07:14:39 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Including fixes from can. Slim pickings, I'm guessing people haven't
really started testing.
Current release - new code bugs:
- eth: mlx5e:
- psp: avoid 'accel' NULL pointer dereference
- skip PPHCR register query for FEC histogram if not supported
Previous releases - regressions:
- bonding: update the slave array for broadcast mode
- rtnetlink: re-allow deleting FDB entries in user namespace
- eth: dpaa2: fix the pointer passed to PTR_ALIGN on Tx path
Previous releases - always broken:
- can: drop skb on xmit if device is in listen-only mode
- gro: clear skb_shinfo(skb)->hwtstamps in napi_reuse_skb()
- eth: mlx5e
- RX, fix generating skb from non-linear xdp_buff if program
trims frags
- make devcom init failures non-fatal, fix races with IPSec
Misc:
- some documentation formatting "fixes"
