Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/13] sfc: Correct comment about number of TX queues
 used on EF10

From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com>

EF10 implements option descriptors to switch TX checksum offload
on and off between packets.  We could therefore use a single
hardware TX queue per kernel TX queue, although we don't yet.
