Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/14] be2net: patch set

Patches 1 to 6 address issues with return values of some ndo/ethtool
driver methods. In error scenarios, either an inappropriate error or
a +ve return value (where the stack expects a -ve value) was being returned.

Patch 7 updates description strings for certain UE bits.

Patch 8 cleans up (reduces) argument passing for a few routines in be_cmds.c.

Patch 9 removes some unused code (unused definitions.)

Patch 10 updates NULL check in the driver to a consistent "if (!foo)" style.

Patchs 11 to 13 fix a few minor issues with the earlier patch bec84e6
("create optimal number of queues on SR-IOV config"):
	- patch 11 fixes BEx_get_resources() code to use be_max_vfs() macro
	- patch 12 skips SR-IOV config code for BE2 that doesn't support SRIOV
	- patch 13 uses adapter->flags to track SRIOV enabled state

Patch 14 updates the driver version.

Please consider applying to the net-next tree. Thanks.
