[net Patch] octeontx2-af: Fix default entries mcam entry action

From: Hariprasad Kelam

Date: Mon Feb 16 2026 - 04:04:30 EST


As per design, AF should update the default MCAM action only when
mcam_index is -1. A bug in the previous patch caused default entries
to be changed even when the request was not for them.

Fixes: 570ba37898ec ("octeontx2-af: Update RSS algorithm index")
