Please use netdev style subject lines when patching net kernel to
indicate which kernel tree this is targeted at, "net" or "net-next"

In this case however, this bug has been here since the beginning of the

Fixes: 41c445ff0f48 ("i40e: main driver core")

The fix itself is fine, and is correct as far as I can tell, thank you
for sending the patch!
