I don't know if num_vports can be 1.
But if it is then I agree that the above will be a divide by zero.

I do, however, wonder if it would be better to either:

* Treat this case as invalid and return with -EINVAL if num_vports is 1; or

* Skip both the calculation immediately above and the code
  in the if condition below, which is the only place where
  the calculated value is used, if num_vports is 1.
  I don't think the if clause makes much sense if num_vports is one.
