Up until now, each TX ring always requires a completion ring/NQ/MSIX. bnxt_trim_rings() and the assignment of bp->cp_nr_rings always make this assumption. This will no longer be true in the next patches, so we refactor and add helper functions to determine the proper relationship between TX rings and the required completion ring/NQ/MSIX. This patch does not change the 1:1 relationship yet. Note that on P5 chips, each RX and TX ring still requires a completion ring. Only the number of NQs has been reduced. We should no longer call bnxt_trim_rings() to adjust the RX and TX rings on P5 chips. Replace with simple logic to check that RX + TX < CP and adjust accordingly. bnxt_check_rings() should call _bnxt_get_max_rings() to get the raw number of rings instead of bnxt_get_max_rings(). If we are about to create TCs, bnxt_get_max_rings() would not be able to calculate the max rings correctly.

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.
