I like Vinicius's feedback, please make the new helper function have
the signature:

static int taprio_mqprio_cmp(const struct net_device *dev,
			     const struct tc_mqprio_qopt *mqprio)

And make the NULL check in there instead of at the caller.

Please also remember to add the Fixes: tag.

Thanks.
