Title:
   mlx5 : not able to set a high MTU on the representor port for a VF

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Using Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-47, with a Mellanox MCX556M-ECAT-S25
  [1].

  With the distro driver, it's impossible to increase the MTU of a
  representor port :

  $ sudo ip li set enp50s0f0_0 mtu 1501
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

  Whereas with the OFED driver [2], I can set it up to 9978 :
  $ sudo ip li set mtu 9978 enp50s0f0_0
  $

  This is blocking to use OVS offloading with jumbo frames. Could we
  please get the feature in the distro driver ?

  Thanks !

  Steps to create the representor :

  echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/enp50s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
  echo 0000:32:00.3 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/unbind
  sudo devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:32:00.0 mode switchdev
  echo 0000:32:00.2 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mlx5_core/bind
