Hi, thanks for reviewing it

There's actually no requirement that tx_push_buf_len needs to be > 
0. I'll drop this check.
It seems like the reply object gets zeroed at 
ethnl_init_reply_data() so ENA can simply not touch this field if 
no push buffer exists, leaving the values at 0.

ack. I'll add it
