Hi Simon,

no worries :)

Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems quite a common approach to have
same stats in both .ndo_get_stats64() and .get_ethtool_stats():
- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c#L212
- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c#L435
- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ethtool.c#L243
- https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/net/mac80211/ethtool.c#L52
- ...

Do you mean I should just report common stats (e.g. tx_packets or tx_bytes) in
.ndo_get_stats64()? Or it is fine to just add .ndo_get_stats64() callback (not
supported at the moment)?

Can you please provide me a pointer for it?
