Here is the summary with links:
  - [net-next,1/3] net: dsa: cpu_dp->orig_ethtool_ops might be NULL
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/eba81b0a6de3
  - [net-next,2/3] net: dsa: use kernel data types for ethtool ops on conduit
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/8afabd27fe46
  - [net-next,3/3] net: dsa: append ethtool counters of all hidden ports to conduit

You are awesome, thank you!
