Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: qede: don't restrict error codes

This series fixes the qede driver, so that when a helper function fails,
then the callee should return the returned error code, instead just
assuming that the error is eg. -EINVAL.

The patches in this series, reduces the change of future bugs, so new
error codes can be returned from the helpers, without having to update
the call sites.

This is a follow-up to my recent series "net: qede: avoid overruling
error codes", which fixed the cases where the implicit assumption of
failing with specific error codes had been broken.

  net: qede: use return from qede_flow_spec_validate_unused()
  net: qede: use return from qede_flow_parse_ports()
