Hi Carlos,

some feedback from my side.

The indentation of the line above should be such that it aligns with the
inside of the parentheses on the previous line.

static sci_t macsec_frame_sci(struct macsec_eth_header *hdr, bool sci_present,
			      struct macsec_rxh_data *rxd)

For new networking code, please use reverse xmas tree order - longest line
to shortest - for local variable declarations.

			struct macsec_secy *secy = &macsec_device->secy;
			struct macsec_rx_sc *rx_sc;

I wonder if this can be more succinctly written as:

				if (rx_sc && rx_sc->active)
					return rx_sc->sci;

clang-16 complains, as I understand things, that if
the else if condition is met above, but sci is not returned from
within it, then sci is uninitialised here.

Perhaps that cannot happen.
But perhaps it would be better guard against it somehow?
