> .eeprom_version
>     Write-only and otherwise unused
> .atr_sample_rate
>     Has only one possible value (I40E_DEFAULT_ATR_SAMPLE_RATE). Remove
>     it and replace its occurrences by I40E_DEFAULT_ATR_SAMPLE_RATE
> .adminq_work_limit
>     Has only one possible value (I40E_AQ_WORK_LIMIT). Remove it and
>     replace its occurrences by I40E_AQ_WORK_LIMIT
> .tx_sluggish_count
>     Unused, never written
> .pf_seid
>     Used to store VSI downlink seid and it is referenced only once
>     in the same codepath. There is no need to save it into i40e_pf.
>     Remove it and use downlink_seid directly in the mentioned log
>     message.
> .instance
>     Write only. Remove it as well as ugly static local variable
>     'pfs_found' in i40e_probe.
