Nack, this check is unnecessary.

If SNB can do more than SNB_MSIX_CNT MSI-Xs then this check is needed
to enable less than maximum MSI-Xs in case the maximum was not allocated.
Otherwise SNB will fallback to single MSI instead of multiple MSI-Xs.

Per the comment in the code snippet above, "If we can't get all 4,
then we can't use MSI-X".  There is already a check to see if more
than 4 were acquired.  So it's not possible to hit this.  Even if it
was, don't use SNB_MSIX_CNT here (limits.msix_cnt is the preferred
variable).  Also, the "()" are unnecessary.

The changelog is definitely bogus. I meant here an improvement to the
existing scheme, not a conversion to the new one:

	msix_entries = msix_table_size(val);

Getting i.e. 16 vectors here.

	if (msix_entries > ndev->limits.msix_cnt) {
		rc = -EINVAL;
		goto err;
	}

Upper limit check i.e. succeeds.

	[...]

	rc = pci_enable_msix(pdev, ndev->msix_entries, msix_entries);

pci_enable_msix() does not success and returns i.e. 8 here, should retry.

	if (rc < 0)
		goto err1;
	if (rc > 0) {
		/* On SNB, the link interrupt is always tied to 4th vector.  If
		 * we can't get all 4, then we can't use MSI-X.
		 */
		if (ndev->hw_type != BWD_HW) {

On SNB bail out here, although could have continue with 8 vectors.
Can only use SNB_MSIX_CNT here, since limits.msix_cnt is the upper limit.

			rc = -EIO;
			goto err1;
		}

		[...]
	}
