We want to check even interface here.
I will update code to make iface_num data type to uint8_t.

QLogic adapter supports two IPv6 addresses per port and both address
can be either autocfg or user specified. However autocfg setting is
common for both the addresses, that's reason we update autocfg from
even interface only.

Also both IPv6 addresses will have same linklocal addr and same
router address.

Transport code is written in way that if someone wants to support individual
configuration (autocfg, linklocal addr, etc) for each iface, they can do it.

We are supporting only two IPv6 addresses in our driver for now. In future
we may support more. Transport code is scalable to support up to 10 iface per port.

Ok.

We do not need to reset the adapter, we just disable and enable FW
Settings (Address control block) which will apply new network
configuration to the port.

But before applying new network configuration we need to logout
all active session so we are waiting up to 10sec for each session
to logout.

We are waiting for session to logout as I mentioned above.
