[Kalesh]: You are adding support for only one ndo hook ".ndo_get_stats64" in this patch. Am I missing something?

+int octep_vf_get_if_stats(struct octep_vf_device *oct)
[Kalesh]: You may want to make this function static. 

This is an interface api which is used in patch [7/8]

+       int ret, size;

+       memset(&vf_stats, 0, sizeof(struct octep_vf_iface_rxtx_stats));
[Kalesh]: You can avoid memset by initializing vf_stats = {};

+                                     (u8 *)&vf_stats, &size);
