Yes, you are right.  Although, we actually go through a slightly
different path with a different event when we encounter these RX
buffer errors:

bnxt_sched_reset()
  set_bit(BNXT_RST_RING_SP_EVENT, &bp->sp_event)

bnxt_rx_ring_reset()
   bnxt_hwrm_rx_ring_reset()

But with the oldest firmware, this call would fail and we would fall back to

bnxt_reset_task() with non-silent mode.

I will respin and change this call to silent mode.

Thanks.
