Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221104 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

    3590918b5d07 ("net: ethernet: renesas: Add support for "Ethernet Switch"")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1527147:  Control flow issues  (NO_EFFECT)
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rswitch.c:270 in rswitch_gwca_queue_alloc_skb()
264     			goto err;
265     	}
266
267     	return 0;
268
269     err:
vvv     CID 1527147:  Control flow issues  (NO_EFFECT)
vvv     This greater-than-or-equal-to-zero comparison of an unsigned value is always true. "i >= 0U".
270     	for (i--; i >= 0; i--) {
271     		index = (i + start_index) % gq->ring_size;
272     		dev_kfree_skb(gq->skbs[index]);
273     		gq->skbs[index] = NULL;
274     	}
275

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Thank you for the report! I should fix the driver. 
I also realized that rswitch_gwca_queue_ts_fill() has the same issue.
