Hi Michal,

I am a little confused about the relationship between this,
where ICE_SF_DEFAULT_EQS is 8, and the following check in
ice_devlink_port_fn_max_io_eqs_set().

	if (max_io_eqs > num_online_cpus()) {
		NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "Supplied value out of range");
		return -EINVAL;
	}

What is the behaviour on systems with more than 8 online CPUs?
