I'm double-minded about the above: I can see your point, but on the
flip side the 'addr' suffix is consistently used in net-related
tracepoints.

I agree 'rx_skaddr' is sub-optimal. Either be consistent with all the
other net tracepoints and use 'skaddr' (which will very likely will
increase Jesper concerns, but I personally have no problem with such
format) or prefer readability with something alike 'rx_sk' or (even
better) 'sk'.
