## WARNINGS

**drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_flow_fdir.c:802** - Type mismatch between `raw_id` and enum usage

The patch changes `raw_id` from `enum i40e_flxpld_layer_idx` to `uint8_t`, but the code later assigns `raw_id` to an enum-typed field `layer_idx` without validation. While the patch fixes the immediate comparison issue, consider whether `raw_id` values should be validated against the enum range before being used as `layer_idx`:

```c
/* Current code assigns raw_id (now uint8_t) to layer_idx (enum) */
enum i40e_flxpld_layer_idx layer_idx = fdir_filter->input.flow_ext.layer_idx;
```

If `raw_id` can take arbitrary `uint8_t` values from user input, validate that it falls within the valid enum range before using it as an array index or enum value. If `raw_id` is guaranteed to be within enum bounds by earlier validation, document that assumption.

**drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_flow_fdir.c:802,935** - Variable naming suggests enum type

The variable name `raw_id` being assigned to `layer_idx` (which remains an enum) suggests these values share a semantic relationship. If `raw_id` represents the same concept as `i40e_flxpld_layer_idx`, consider:
- Adding a bounds check: `if (raw_id >= I40E_MAX_FLXPLD_LAYER) return -EINVAL;`
- Or documenting why the enum type was removed (if the field in the structure that stores it has been changed to `uint8_t`)

The fix itself is correct for the comparison issue described in the commit message, but ensure the broader usage pattern is safe.
