Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] be2net: Add description about various RSS hash types

Incorporated review comment from Eric Dumazet. Added description
about different RSS hash types which adapter is capable of.
Will add support for ETHTOOL_GRXFH and ETHTOOL_SRXFX as suggested
by Ben Hutchings in a later patch.
