Exactly, cfr. commit 7fa2955ff70ce453 ("sh_eth: Fix sleeping function
called from invalid context").
So you mean sh_eth_get_stats() can now be called after setting
__LINK_STATE_START, but before RPM has enabled the clocks?
Is there some protection against parallel execution of ndo_open()
and get_stats()?
