Do we have a lot of places which assign the new structure directly 
like this?

There's a bit of "request state" in it:

struct kernel_hwtstamp_config {
	int flags;
	int tx_type;
	int rx_filter;
	struct ifreq *ifr;             <<<
	bool copied_to_user;           <<<
	enum hwtstamp_source source;
};

Maybe keep the type of config as was, and use
hwtstamp_config_to_kernel() to set the right fields?
