Yeah, this was fixed with the follow on patch:

commit c07a213db1437a8fd40c328e6a2c426723caec65
Author: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Feb 10 07:33:15 2015 +0000

    i40e: Fix for stats init function call in Rx setup
    
    This patch fixes indentation issue and error found in argument
    reported by static analysis.  Without this patch, sparse and other
    static analysis errors will be found.
