This was discussed at length and we agreed that the kernel would have explicit
capabilities communicated between the drivers and the core layers rather than
using link layer to determine what core support was needed.
For Node Type, OPA is its own "namespace" and as such we use the same values
for "CA" and "Switch". The code you reference below is explicitly executed
only on OPA devices so I don't see why this is in conflict with IB.

I agreed and all OPA differences are limited to device/ports which explicitly
indicate they are OPA ports.
For example:
opa = rdma_cap_opa_mad(qp_info->port_priv->device,
qp_info->port_priv->port_num);
...
if (opa && ((struct ib_mad_hdr *)(recv->mad))->base_version ==
OPA_MGMT_BASE_VERSION) {
recv->header.recv_wc.mad_len = wc->byte_len - sizeof(struct
ib_grh);
recv->header.recv_wc.mad_seg_size = sizeof(struct opa_mad);
} else {
recv->header.recv_wc.mad_len = sizeof(struct ib_mad);
recv->header.recv_wc.mad_seg_size = sizeof(struct ib_mad);
}
If I missed a place where this is not the case please let me know but I made
this change many months back and I'm pretty sure I caught them all.
Thanks,
Ira
