Hi Vadim,

Thanks for the review. You're right - once the bp->fp_array_size assignment is moved after bp->fp is set, the loop in bnx2x_free_mem_bp() naturally won't execute
when bp->fp is NULL, since bp->fp_array_size remains zero. The if (bp->fp) guard is indeed redundant. I'll remove it and send a v2 with only the assignment-order
fix.

Best regards,
Jiangshan Yi
