You are confused. The only place the data in question is used is: static struct net_device_stats *brcmf_netdev_get_stats This is a per-network device standard API and it returns per-network device statistics. Several releases ago, structure element was added to the network_device struct for common usage by drivers. All this patch does is use that instead of the private device scratch pad. If you really want to be more clever, the device should be convert to the new getstats64 API, but that requires more work (like wrapping updates with the u64_stats_sync() macros.
I misunderstood since the first mail I got of this thread is Arend's reply. But I did receive the "brcmf: make net_device_ops const" patch. Something wrong with the mail server?
