+enable_roce: RoCE enablement state
+----------------------------------
+RoCE enablement state controls driver support for RoCE traffic.
+When RoCE is disabled, there is no gid table, only raw ethernet QPs are supported and traffic on the well known UDP RoCE port is handled as raw ethernet traffic.
+
+To change RoCE enablement state a user must change the driverinit cmode value and run devlink reload.
+
+User command examples:
+
+- Disable RoCE::
+
+ $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce value false cmode driverinit
+ $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0
+
+- Read RoCE enablement state::
+
+ $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name enable_roce
+ pci/0000:06:00.0:
+ name enable_roce type generic
+ values:
+ cmode driverinit value true

+flow_steering_mode [DEVICE, DRIVER-SPECIFIC]
+ Controls the flow steering mode of the driver.
+ Two modes are supported:
+ 1. 'dmfs' - Device managed flow steering.
+ 2. 'smfs - Software/Driver managed flow steering.
+ In DMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and

+ In SMFS mode, the HW steering entities are created and
