Hi wuych,
Thank you for your patch.
nit: the local variable declarations could be reverse xmas tree
longest line to shortest line. One option being:
 static u64 *hns3_get_stats_tqps(struct hnae3_handle *handle, u64 *data)
 {
-	struct hns3_nic_priv *nic_priv = (struct hns3_nic_priv *)handle->priv;
 	struct hnae3_knic_private_info *kinfo = &handle->kinfo;
+	struct hns3_nic_priv *nic_priv = handle->priv;
 	struct hns3_enet_ring *ring;
 	u8 *stat;
and elsewhere in other patchs.

By the way, the net-next branch is currently closed, and you need to wait for
the merge window to open before merging patches.
