Subject should be iwl-net and you should have Fixes: tag.
I also would like you to go through
https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html

or any other document that would prepare you for your first submission.

...which would imply that you would be able to work with anything more
than 64 queues. From a quick glance rss_size_max comes from early i40e
days and if that would be the limit indeed then driver allowing 104 queues
would be a disaster, no?

IMHO this should be vsi->alloc_queue_pairs instead.
