Change the mlx5 firmware interface header to make it
more clear which bytes should be used by IPv4 or
IPv6 addresses.

I like the way these names just roll off the tongue :-)

Have you considered just how long the line of code to access these
fields will be?
It might be better to do (I think it compiles):
	union {
		u8	src_ipv6[16][0x8];
		struct {
			u8	src_ipv4_pad[0x60];
			u8	src_ipv4[0x20];
		}
	};
Repeated for the 'dst' addresses.
Then fixup the definition of src_ipv4[] (and probably src_ipv6[]) to
be much clearer about how the addresses are supplied.

This is actually created automatically, but I fully agree the names here 
look odd (to say the least). We'll of course fix that :)
Thanks for taking a look.
