Hi Michal,

WRT leaking q_vector_indxs, that allocation is not present at
the commit cited above, so I think the correct Fixes tag for
that problem is the following, where that allocation was added:

Fixes: d4d558718266 ("idpf: initialize interrupts and enable vport")

I do note that adapter->vport_config[idx] may be allocated but
not freed on error in idpf_vport_alloc(). But I assume that this
is not a leak as it will eventually be cleaned up by idpf_remove().

So the Fixes tag not withstanding this looks good to me.
