They're likely false positives, but it does follow the pattern of
reading the same userspace location twice:

        if (copy_from_user(&cmd, useraddr, sizeof(cmd)))
                return -EFAULT;

        switch (cmd) {
        case CHELSIO_SET_QSET_PARAMS:{
                int i;
                struct qset_params *q;
                struct ch_qset_params t;
                int q1 = pi->first_qset;
                int nqsets = pi->nqsets;

                if (!capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN))
                        return -EPERM;
                if (copy_from_user(&t, useraddr, sizeof(t)))
                        return -EFAULT;

If there is any logic that examines cmd (u32) and operates on t
(struct ch_qset_params), there could be a flaw. It doesn't look like
it here, but a "correct" version of this would be:

                if (copy_from_user(&t, useraddr, sizeof(t)))
                        return -EFAULT;
                t.cmd = cmd;
