_Many_ cases where "if(" should be "if (" (same for "for").

Might as well #undef this constant if you want it to be "local".


There are several places where an if () also does an assignment
without doing a comparison.  sparse will beep/gong on those.
Have you tried sparse?  E.g.:
+		if((err = ixgb_up(adapter)))
+			return err;
Instead of using double parens to appease gcc, do this:
		if ((err = ixgb_up(adapter) != 0)
			return err;
