ice_set_rss_hfunc() performs a VSI update, in which it sets hashing function, leaving other VSI options unchanged. However, ::q_opt_flags is mistakenly set to the value of another field, instead of its original value, probably due to a typo. What happens next is hardware-dependent: On E810, only the first bit is meaningful (see ICE_AQ_VSI_Q_OPT_PE_FLTR_EN) and can potentially end up in a different state than before VSI update. On E830, some of the remaining bits are not reserved. Setting them to some unrelated values can cause the firmware to reject the update because of invalid settings, or worse - succeed.
