Hi Emil,

I'm wondering if we could reduce indentation and lines longer
than 80 characters in the above like this (completely untested!):


	for (index = 0; index < adapter->max_vports; index++) {
		struct idpf_vport_config *vport_config = adapter->vport_config[index];
		struct net_device *netdev = adapter->netdevs[index];

		if (!netdev ||
		    test_bit(IDPF_VPORT_REG_NETDEV, vport_config->flags))
		    continue;

		err = register_netdev(netdev);
		if (err) {
			dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register netdev for vport %d: %pe\n",
				index, ERR_PTR(err));
			continue;
		}
		set_bit(IDPF_VPORT_REG_NETDEV, vport_config->flags);
	}
