Re: [PATCH] igb: Convert a series of if statements to switch case

[Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@gmail.com>]

Dear David,

Thanks for your reply

Logically the two versions are equivalent, hw->mac.type is defined as 
follows:

enum e1000_mac_type {
         e1000_undefined = 0,
         e1000_82575,
         e1000_82576,
         e1000_82580,
         e1000_i350,
         e1000_i354,
         e1000_i210,
         e1000_i211,
         e1000_num_macs  /* List is 1-based, so subtract 1 for true 
count. */
};
Therefore, hw->mac.type < e1000_82576 has only two cases: 
e1000_undefined or e1000_82575.
