Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the patch, your solution is good enough, but let's avoid
confusing developers with such duplications.
since the Makefile might get messy if we will keep using this method.

I suggest to move wq.o to core or make MLX5_FPGA depend on MLX5_CORE_EN.
I will discuss this with Ilan and we will provide the fix ASAP.

Thanks,
Saeed.
