Hi Arnd,

I didn't post a fix up since it is not needed anymore, see
b7aade15485a ('vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers') in
net-next.

The new issue is introduced due to : "net/mlx5: Kconfig: Fix
MLX5_EN/VXLAN build issue" which was merged from net tree.

Dave shouldn't have merged it into net-next, I explicitly asked him
that in the cover letter.  Maybe he missed it.

I just checked and It is sufficient to only take the revert patch:
[PATCH 1/3] Revert "net/mlx5: Kconfig: Fix MLX5_EN/VXLAN build issue"
to net-next.

Can you please confirm that with only the revert patch, you don't see
the issue ?
