Hi Oleksij

With a multi part patch set, please always include a cover note,
describing what the patchset as a whole does.

You are not doing any locking here, which you should. Due to modules
vs built in, it can be a bit tricky getting this right. Take a look at
how ethtool ioctl.c uses phy_ethtool_get_stats() and that inline
function itself.
