Subject: [PATCH v2] net: netcp: correct netcp_get_stats function signature

Commit: bc1f44709cf2 - net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void function
and
Commit: 6a8162e99ef3 - net: netcp: store network statistics in 64 bits.

The commit 6a8162e99ef3 adds ndo_get_stats64 function as per old
signature which causes compilation error:

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/netcp_core.c:1951:28: error:
initialization from incompatible pointer type
  .ndo_get_stats64        = netcp_get_stats,

Hence correct netcp_get_stats function signature as per
the latest definition.

Signed-off-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@...com>
Fixes: 6a8162e99ef344fc("net: netcp: store network statistics in 64 bits")
---

Changes in v2:

  * Added the static in the function definition.

This is due patches crossing at the same time.
Fixes the compilation error. Only build tested. It would be
good if someone can boot test.

Applies on top of latest next branch.
