I simply wanted to add a comment in front of this function/helper, advising not using it unless absolutely needed. Thus my question "In which context is it safe to call this helper ?" As long as it was private with a driver, I did not mind. But if made public in include/linux/netdevice.h, I would rather not have to explain to future users why it can be problematic.
