The code looks good, but would it make sense to split this patch into
two? First one that ignores the return values on close path with these
fixes tags:

Fixes: e2585ea77538 ("net-next/hinic: Add Rx handler")
Fixes: c4d06d2d208a ("net-next/hinic: Add Rx mode and link event handler")

And a separate patch which bumps the timeout for SET_FUNC_STATE? Right
now you don't even mention the timeout changes in the commit message.
