Hi Bharat,

The chan_v logic above seems to appear twice in this patch.
I'd suggest adding a helper.

IMHO, inline #ifdefs reduce readability and reduce maintainability.

Would it be possible to either:

1. Include the pfc_en field in struct otx2_nic and make
   sure it is set to 0 if CONFIG_DCB is unset; or
2. Provide a wrapper that returns 0 if CONFIG_DCB is unset,
   otherwise pfvf->pfc_en.

I suspect 1 will have little downside and be easiest to implement.
