Is this a version 2 of your original patch you sent out with the same
title and patch description?  It is difficult to understand the reason
for the change without a sufficient changelog (i.e. why the new version
of the patch).

NAK. This will reference an uninitialized err variable when netif_running returns false. The compiler should complain about this, suggesting that it wasn't compiled.

Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] fm10k:Fix error handling in the function fm10k_setup_tc

This fixes error handling in the function fm10k_setup_tc to properly check if the call to the function fm10k_open has failed by returning a error and if so return immediately to the caller of the function fm10k_setup_tc to properly signal this non recoverable failure.
