Mostly minor nits, see below.

Not sure this is ordered alphabetically, so in general add it at the end.

This is not relevant, we saw it just above         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I believe the if against the length is wrong and should be inverted and
placed here:

        if (bytes != ETH_ALEN)
                return -EINVAL;

Since lenght does not change, prefer to bail out early.

Is bytes != ETH_ALEN a valid use case?

nph = hdr.nph + 1 ?

and here the usual i < nph?

This one is not really useful anymore.
