In the original code, that's the name it had, so I just kept it. There
were two additional wrappers, but in Johannes's rewrite of the driver,
they became unnecessary.
I'll rename it to alx_update_hw_stats in v3.

I didn't know about that convention. I can't find a reference in
Documentation/CodingStyle, or from a quick look at a grep in the rest
of the files there: maybe it should be added to the documentation?

Thanks,
