[PATCH net 0/2] i40e: Two trivial fixes for 09f79fd49d94

[Stefano Brivio]

Two trivial fixes for recently introduced 09f79fd49d94 ("i40e: avoid NVM
acquire deadlock during NVM update"): 1/2 fixes a comment about locking
and 2/2 gets rid of two useless variables and one initializer in nvm
functions.

Stefano Brivio (2):
  i40e: Fix comment about locking for __i40e_read_nvm_word()
  i40e: Avoid some useless variables and initializers in nvm functions

[PATCH net 1/2] i40e: Fix comment about locking for __i40e_read_nvm_word()

[Stefano Brivio]

Caller needs to acquire the lock. Called functions will not.

This is NOT a fix, it is a coding style preference whether or not you
like multiple returns or a single return in functions.  I do not mind
picking this up for net-next (4.15 kernel), but this does not qualify
for a fix for Dave's net tree.

Yes, this fixes the function header comment, not sure if it requires
the "Fixes:" tag.  If that were the case, wonder why all the other code
comment changes do not have this. :-)  I do agree it reads better with
this change, so I do not have an issue queue this up for Dave's net
tree.
