I'm not sure if the backports for vmware driver can get into OFED 5.3.
I have already sent them upstream but most likely won't be added
until Linux 5.5. These also require an updated rdma-core repository. 
So, it's possible that a rdma-core release with those patches may not 
be ready until 5.5RC1 (a few weeks away). 

Or can we include backports to rdma-core in OFED now too?
