## Patch 1/2: net/e1000: fix igc RSS redirection table

### Errors

None.

### Warnings

None.

### Info

**Code improvement opportunity (not required):**

The cast to `uint8_t` on line 839 is redundant:
```c
q_idx = (uint8_t)((dev->data->nb_rx_queues > 1) ?
    (i + reta_idx) % dev->data->nb_rx_queues : 0);
```
`q_idx` is declared as `uint16_t`, but the result is immediately assigned to `reta.bytes[reta_idx]` (which is `uint8_t`). The cast could be removed or applied to the entire expression result instead of just the conditional expression.

Similar pattern appears in the second hunk (line 957) but is appropriate there since `rss->conf.queue[]` is `uint16_t` and being assigned to `uint8_t`.

## Patch 2/2: net/e1000: fix igc Tx descriptor ring wrap

### Errors

None.

### Warnings

None.

### Info

The fix correctly addresses the out-of-bounds access by wrapping `tx_last + 2` before using it as an index into `sw_ring[]`. The logic is correct: if the unwrapped index exceeds the ring size, subtract the ring size to wrap around.

---

## Summary

Both patches address real correctness bugs:

1. **Patch 1** fixes uninitialized memory use in RSS redirection table setup. The original code initialized a union on the stack for each loop iteration but only wrote it to the register every fourth entry, leaving three bytes per register uninitialized. The fix properly initializes all four queue indices before writing each register.

2. **Patch 2** fixes a buffer overrun where `sw_ring[tx_last + 2]` could read past the end of the software ring array when `tx_last` is one of the last two descriptors. The fix wraps the index before the array access.

Both fixes are appropriate and improve code correctness. No style violations, forbidden token usage, or API/documentation issues were found. The patches are ready for review by maintainers.
