From: Norbert Zulinski norbertx.zulinski@intel.com Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:29:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i40e_dbg_dump_desc

When trying to dump VFs VSI RX/TX descriptors using debugfs there was a crash due to NULL pointer dereference in i40e_dbg_dump_desc. Added a check to i40e_dbg_dump_desc that checks if VSI type is correct for dumping RX/TX descriptors.
