The correct thing to do is provide an appropriate implementation of the ->get_strings() and ->get_ethtool_stats() methods. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
