For Send indirection table (tx_table) ethtool doesn't have the option
to set it, and it's usually provided by the host. So we always initialize
it...
But, yes, for Receive indirection table (rx_table), I will make a fix, so
it will be set to default only for new devices, or changing the number
of channels; otherwise it will remain the same during operations like
changing MTU, ringparam.

For rx_table, we already use it:
rndis_device->rx_table[i] = ethtool_rxfh_indir_default(
For tx_table, I know it's the same operation (%, mod), but this wrapper
function's name is for rx_table. Should we use it for tx_table too?

Sure.

Thanks,
