ACK/Cmnt: [SRU][F][G][PATCH 1/1] net/smc: tolerate future SMCD versions

While testing the old code, IBM identified the issue and came up with that
patch, that they are now bringing upstream.
The patch was already tested by IBM, but
I provided a patched kernel based on Ubuntu (focal) master-next on top for
further testing:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1882088/comments/12
and I'm expecting some feedback from the initial reporter (IBM) on that,
too.

Thx, Frank
