Hi Carol,

Does this fixes a specific commit? if yes, please add a Fixes: line
before your signature, maybe
one the changes to enable CQE/EQE striding introduced that?

43c816c67a53 net/mlx4_core: Cache line EQE size support
77507aa249ae net/mlx4_core: Enable CQE/EQE stride support

I also added Yishai and Jack who should review your fix

Or.
