Currently, the hns3 PMD driver can interact with firmware through
command to complete hardware configuration. The driver calls internal
interface function named hns3_cmd_send to issues command to the
firmware, and check the execution result of the command through desc_ret
returned by firmware to driver.
As the design of error code, when device is resetting hns3_cmd_send will
only return -EBUSY or -EIO. But we found that if desc_ret is in
[12,65535], for example the item doesn't exist when issuing the command
to query some table item, hns3_cmd_send also return -EIO. This
phenomenon will affect the processing logic for the return value.
The root cause as below:
When desc_ret is in [12,65535], in the static function named
hns3_cmd_convert_err_code called by hns3_cmd_send, matches the default
case and return -EIO. And then hns3_cmd_send return -EIO.
This patch fixes it with the following modification.
1. Change the return value of the default case in the static function
named hns3_cmd_convert_err_code from -EIO to -EREMOTEIO.
2. Modify the comment add errcode description of the internal interface
function named hns3_cmd_send.
