This looks better but did you know that the ifname can never be as big as
MLX5_NAMESIZE.
Kernel limits to IFNAMSIZ (ie 16). The largest allowable interface name in
Linux is 15 characters.
Looks like:
MLX5_NAMESIZE := MXL5_FS_NAME_MAX := IBV_SYSFS_NAME_MAX + 1 = 64 + 1 =
65
Because Linux interface name length is fixed by BSD legacy ABI's it will never
be longer.
