Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet TC offload submodule

An internal subdirectory of the Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver that implements traffic-control (TC) hardware offload logic for ConnectX NICs. It is part of the larger mlx5_core driver, not a standalone driver in its own right.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a source subfolder inside the active Mellanox/NVIDIA mlx5 Ethernet driver that holds traffic-control offload code. There is nothing to keep or remove independently — its fate is tied to the parent mlx5 driver, which remains very much alive and maintained.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: this is the mlx5 Ethernet traffic-control offload submodule under an existing driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
