You do not like the idea of #ifdef around .get_rxnfc (including moving it to
.h file) or the idea of displaying filters added by RFS?

I am actually considering moving driver filter structures out of
#ifdef CONFIG_RFS_ACCEL, and make it available always. This will allow us to
define .get_rxnfc without any #ifdefs.

This change is anyway needed when I implement .set_rxnfc to added user entered
filters.

This it fine with you?

Thanks
