Hi Eric,

Thanks for the feedback on my patch.

b44_stats_update() is run from timer, (softirq), check b44_timer()
Yes, I knew that.  b44_stats_update() is also called from
b44_get_ethtool_stats().
So you must use u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh()
That I did not know, although it makes sense after I read more about
it.  I will submit a new patch with this fixed.
