Sorry, I was not as clear as I could have been with my last reply. I did leave ETHTOOL_A_TS_STAT_PAD in when I tested (intentionally). I was trying to mimic other ethtool stats implementations, but you are saying that in general there is no need for this padding (which I agree with) and I can remove that unnecessary offset. It'll be different from the existing stats, but I am ok with that. -- Thanks, Rahul Rameshbabu
