I think I misunderstand what you mean. I think you mean I
have to combine

	u32 ocp_data;
	ocp_data = tp->coalesce / 8;

into

	u32 ocp_data = tp->coalesce / 8;

I would correct it.

I think you mean I have to combine

	u32 ocp_data;
	ocp_data = (agg_buf_sz - dev->mtu - VLAN_ETH_HLEN - VLAN_HLEN) / 4;

into

	u32 ocp_data = (agg_buf_sz - dev->mtu - VLAN_ETH_HLEN - VLAN_HLEN) / 4;

I would correct it.

I think you mean

	switch (udev->speed) {
	case USB_SPEED_SUPER:
		...

I would correct it.
