Hi Maxim,

May I suggest editing the above line to "mlx5ib requires ibcore infra,=20
thus it is not included here" (replacing "and" with "thus" being the=20
important part).

The mlx5en(4) page, in SYNOPSIS, lists also option RATELIMIT, option=20
KERN_TLS, and device firmware. Are these needed? I imagine that "device=20
firmware" certainly is (thus should perhaps be listed in the comment=20
above), but what about the options?

Thanks,
Matteo
