Sorry, I'm still confused about what this patch is doing. From the commit message it seems like there are a couple of conditions:

If the device is X722
	Then if FW < 1.7 then use register to set TPID
	Else use adminq to set TPID

The change in the code is only looking to see if the device is X722 and not doing any other checking of FW version.

Am I misunderstanding the commit message, the patch, or both?
