I wasn't aware of this notice. Looks like it makes this patch unnecessary
since mlx4 always strip by default; this patch makes it configurable at will
and only exposes the capability when HW supports its configuration (i.e. the
ability to leave CRC inside mbuf).

We'd just need mlx4 to not expose DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP at all in
mlx5_get_rx_queue_offloads() in order to fully comply.

I leave it up to you, I don't mind if we include this patch only to revert
it later when we finally get rid of DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP.
