No, it has the identical code:

+static int mlx5_get_terminate_scatter_list_mkey(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev)
+{
+       if (MLX5_CAP_GEN(dev, terminate_scatter_list_mkey)) {
+               dev->terminate_scatter_list_mkey =
+                       cpu_to_be32(MLX5_GET(query_special_contexts_out, out,
+                                            terminate_scatter_list_mkey));
+               return 0;
+       }
+       dev->terminate_scatter_list_mkey = MLX5_TERMINATE_SCATTER_LIST_LKEY;
