This series by Cosmin fixes several mlx5e offload issues:

- Block eswitch mode changes before accessing the IPsec context during
policy and SA creation.
- Tie TC eswitch and IPsec-blocking references to flow destruction,
covering bulk cleanup and flows with outstanding references.
- Track MACsec hardware-object ownership explicitly and delete remaining
SecYs during driver cleanup.
- Serialize TC/IPsec exclusion counters with a dedicated mutex.
- Prevent SHAMPO from merging PSP packets.
Some of the clashiko findings look both legit and relevant to me.

Friendly reminder that you are expected to address them on the ML.
