Guess I hate long lines more than I hate inconsistencies.

This:

	something = netdev_lock_ops_compat_dereference(&dev->something, dev);

is uncomfortably close to 80 columns for me.

I think the existing naming is as good as we'll get..
If y'all disagree I can respin. I'll be sad but I'll respin :)
