No, I couldn't, that helper does not check vsi->type value:

/**
  * i40e_pf_get_main_vsi - get pointer to main VSI
  * @pf: pointer to a PF
  *
  * Return pointer to main VSI or NULL if it does not exist
  **/
static inline struct i40e_vsi *i40e_pf_get_main_vsi(struct i40e_pf *pf)
{
	return (pf->lan_vsi != I40E_NO_VSI) ? pf->vsi[pf->lan_vsi] : NULL;
}

I had an idea with helper like:
static inline bool i40e_is_main_vsi(struct i40e_vsi *vsi)
{
	struct i40e_pf *pf = vsi->back;
	return (pf->vsi[pf->lan_vsi] == vsi);
}

but I think that `vsi->type == I40E_VSI_MAIN` is simple enough.

Thanks,
