Which kernel version are you using, and which version of OVN?

I have not had the pleasure of testing this specific NIC myself, but
from cursory view of kernel sources the message indicate that the
driver is attempting an HWRM_CFA_FLOW_ALLOC operation and is getting a
HWRM_ERR_CODE_INVALID_PARAMS error.

My hunch would be there are some flow attributes in use that the
driver/firmware does not support. If this is a 5.4 kernel it might be
conntrack, you could try to disable port security for all networks and
ports (make sure port-security is enabled in Neutron ML2 though,
otherwise you would not be able to disable it properly).
