In the future please specify what was changed, e.g.:

 - use get_random_u32()
 - remove unnecessary parenthesis

etc.

I'm sorry but you must put the call to hinic_glb_pf_vf_offset() on a
separate line. Perhaps take this call out of the for loop entirely?

The way it's written with the parenthesis on the next line is hard to
read.
