Perfect. Generally, when adding a patch which fixes something, we add in a 
"fixes line" into the comment. In this case it would be:

	Fixes: 540a211084a7 ("bnx2x: driver core")

bnx2x_loop_obtain_resources() returns a struct containing the status and
the error message.  If bnx2x_do_req4pf() fails, it shouldn't return both
of these fields set to 0 indicating failure and no error.

Further, bnx2x_do_req4pf() needs to be able fail and return NO_RESOURCES
so that bnx2x_loop_obtain_resources() can negotiate reduced resource
requirments.  This requires additional checking around bnx2x_do_req4pf().

Hi Chas,

can you please provide a commit reference for a fixes line for this patch. [No
need for a V2 just for that alone, just the reference is enough to save me
diving into the git history. I'll manually add the fixes line when committing
to the next-net tree]

Maintainers, can you please review this patchset and provide feedback or an ACK.

Regards,
/Bruce
