Commit 339ccec8d43d ("net/mlx5: Enable MACsec offload feature for VLAN interface") added NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC unconditionally to vlan_features so that VLAN devices could inherit MACsec offload support. mlx5e_build_nic_netdev subsequently copies vlan_features into hw_features and features. As a result, all mlx5e NIC netdevices advertise MACsec hardware offload, even when the firmware does not support it and the driver does not install macsec_ops. Move the vlan_features assignment into mlx5e_macsec_build_netdev, where NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC is enabled only after the device capabilities have been validated. This preserves MACsec-over-VLAN support on capable devices without advertising it on unsupported hardware.
