Subject: qlcnic: refactor Tx/SDS ring calculation and validation in driver.
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~4992^2~69^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=34e8c406fda5b5a9d2e126a92bab84cd28e3b5fa;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

qlcnic: refactor Tx/SDS ring calculation and validation in driver.

o Current driver has duplicate code for validating user input
  for changing Tx/SDS rings using set_channel ethtool interface.
  This patch removes duplicate code and refactored Tx/SDS ring
  validation for 82xx/83xx/84xx series adapter.
o Refactored code now calculates maximum Tx/Rx ring driver can
  support based on Default, NPAR and SRIOV PF/VF mode of driver.
