Title
sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: fix NULL dereferences in ef100_process_design_param()
Since cited commit, ef100_probe_main() and hence also
ef100_check_design_params() run before efx->net_dev is created;
consequently, we cannot netif_set_tso_max_size() or _segs() at this
point.
Move those netif calls to ef100_probe_netdev(), and also replace
netif_err within the design params code with pci_err.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
