Hi Roger, Basharath, all,

There seems to be some overlap between the above and struct rtnl_link_stats64.

Please implement those stats which are present in struct rtnl_link_stats64
using ndo_get_stats64 and omit them from your implementation of
get_ethtool_stats.

IOW, get_ethtool_stats() is for extended stats, whereas is for standard
stats ndo_get_stats64().  And standard stats should not be presented to the
user as extended stats.

Similarly, the above, along with rxOverSizedFrames and rxUnderSizedFrames
below seem to be RMON (RFC 2819) statistics. So I think they should
be handled by implementing get_rmon_stats().

And likewise, the section above and below seem to overlap
with Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC statistics which I believe
should be handled by implementing get_eth_mac_stats()
