This is strange, I didn't put the left curly brace in the same line as
the argument list. You could confirm this in the mbox archived by
lore[1]. Same for other functions.
I've talked to other recipients of the patch, and one uses Outlook as
MTA reported similar issues. It seems Outlook MTA (not the server)
automatically removes the line break and the plus sign before the curly
brace.
I checked your Message-ID and found you're also using Outlook as service
provider, if Outlook is also your MTA, could you try turn off option
"Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages" and see whether the
problem gets fixed?

The only Motorcomm PCIe ethernet controller I could find is YT6801, so
I don't think there's a need for per-hardware values (at least for now).
Will add a constant to represent MSI-X count in the next version.

Thanks for reviewing.
