No.
If we add the following setting to the mana_en / mana_cfg_vport_steering(),
the NIC may put multiple packets in one CQE, so we need to have the changes
for mana_en RX code path to support multiple packets / CQE.
+ req->cqe_coalescing_enable = true;

So we plan to set this cqe_coalescing_enable, and the changes for mana_en
RX code path to support multiple packets / CQE in another patch.

Thanks,
- Haiyang
