Don't create a separate get_stats callback. get_frontend
is already good enough for it.
Is there way to return BER as rate, or should it be calculated by the
application (from total and error bit counts)?
You seems to change value to 64 bit already, which is enough. 32bit is
absolutely too small, it will overflow in seconds (practically around
10sec when there is radio channel of 32MHz and quite optimal conditions).
It is 64bit returned to userspace, is it? Does 64bit calculations causes
any complexity of Kernel or app space?
Basically, that API is more complex that I would like to see, but I can
live with it. I still fear making too complex API causes same problems
as we has currently... lack of app support.
