Nice ! I like it.

you missed mlx5i_handle_rx_cqe, anyway don't add INDIRECT_CALL_5 :D

just replace mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_rep with mlx5i_handle_rx_cqe, 
mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_rep is actually a slow path of switchdev mode.

Maybe define the list somewhere in en.h where it is visible for every
one:

#define MLX5_RX_INDIRECT_CALL_LIST \
mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_mpwrq, mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe, mlx5i_handle_rx_cqe,
mlx5e_ipsec_handle_rx_cqe

and here:
INDIRECT_CALL_4(rq->handle_rx_cqe, MLX5_RX_INDIRECT_CALL_LIST, rq,
cqe);
