I'm not sure you'd consider this a fix, but yes the syntax there should
be using that fixes style for sure.
This enables the ability to use TBS / etf on queues other than 0. So I'd
consider this a new feature for the Qualcomm variant of things here
personally.
Longer term it would be nice to be able to change which queues can do
what via ethtool as was discussed over here, but for now this at least
improves things and follows suit with the imx and intel variants:
