The function i40e_validate_cloud_filter checks that the destination and source port numbers are valid by attempting to ensure that the number is non-zero and no larger than 0xFFFF. However, the types for the dst_port and src_port variable are __be16 which by definition cannot be larger than 0xFFFF Since these values cannot be larger than 2 bytes, the check to see if they exceed 0xFFFF is meaningless. One might consider these checks as some sort of defensive coding, in case the type was later changed. However, these checks also byte-swap the value before comparison using be16_to_cpu, which will truncate the values to 16bits anyways. Additionally, changing the type would require updating the opcodes to support new data layout of these virtchnl commands. Remove the check to silence the -Wtype-limits warning that was added to GCC 8.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
