* - Name
- Type
- Mode
- Description
* - ``flow_steering_mode``
- string
- runtime
- Controls the flow steering mode of the driver
* ``dmfs`` Device managed flow steering. In DMFS mode, the HW

steering entities are created and manage through the driver without
firmware intervention.
* - ``fdb_large_groups``
- u32
- driverinit
- Control the number of large groups (size > 1) in the FDB table.
* The default value is 15, and the range is between 1 and 1024.
The ``mlx5`` driver supports reloading via ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD``
