mcp251xfd_for_each_rx_ring is a macro that iterates over all RX rings in
the struct mcp251xfd_priv. It's not pretty (as it uses its arguments
more than once), but it works:

| #define mcp251xfd_for_each_rx_ring(priv, ring, n) \
| 	for ((n) = 0, (ring) = *((priv)->rx + (n)); \
| 	     (n) < (priv)->rx_ring_num; \
| 	     (n)++, (ring) = *((priv)->rx + (n)))

For now there is only one rx ring...

| struct mcp251xfd_priv {
|       [...]
| 	struct mcp251xfd_rx_ring *rx[1];
| 	u8 rx_ring_num;
|       [...]
| }

...and rx_ring_num is initialized as "1".

| 	for (i = 0;
| 	     i < ARRAY_SIZE(priv->rx) && ram_free >= rx_obj_size;
| 	     i++) {
|               [...]
| 	}
| 	priv->rx_ring_num = i;

This looks indeed like a false positive to me.
