Hi Maxim,

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

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

Thanks,
Matteo
