Hi KY,
IMO here the "-= " should be "+="?

I think sc_delta is usually <= 0, meaning the host may allocate less subchannels than
we expect.
With "-=", net_device->num_sc_offered can become bigger -- this doesn't seem correct.

Why not use 
"net_device->num_sc_offered = net_device->num_chn - 1;" directly?
At this point, net_device->num_chn has been the number of the actual channels.

BTW, I also tested the patch and I can confirm the panic I saw disappeared with the patch.
