Hi,

The following pull-request contains common mlx5 updates
for your *net-next* tree.
Please pull and let me know of any problem.

Data direct support currently lives in mlx5_ib, which owns the data
direct PCI driver, device matching and resource management. To prepare
for data direct support in netdev, move this infrastructure to mlx5_core
and provide a common interface for its consumers.

The series first replaces the direct IB unbind callback with a blocking
notifier chain, allowing multiple consumers to receive unbind events.
It then separates consumer registration from initialization, consolidates
the per-device state and resources, and keeps IB-specific locking and MR
teardown in mlx5_ib.

With these preparations in place, the final patch moves the shared
implementation and PCI driver to mlx5_core. Data direct initialization
and resource creation run during core load, before consumers attach;
cleanup runs during core unload, after consumers detach.

The data direct PCI driver is also explicitly named "mlx5_dd", replacing
the previous "mlx5_ib" name derived from KBUILD_MODNAME.

This series prepares the shared infrastructure for netdev support.
The netdev consumer will follow in a separate series.
