Mellanox mlx5 TC action helpers

Internal source code belonging to the Mellanox mlx5 driver (used by ConnectX-4 and newer 25/50/100/200/400 GbE NICs and SmartNICs). The files here implement individual traffic-control flower actions used when offloading Linux TC rules onto the NIC's hardware switch.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver directory; it is a subfolder of internal helper code inside the Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver that implements individual traffic-control (TC) flower actions such as redirect, mirror, drop, and header rewrite. It has no standalone hardware binding and only exists to support the surrounding mlx5 driver.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: internal mlx5 traffic-control action helper code under the mlx5 driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
