[PATCH net-next 2/5] ethtool: hold a reference to the netdevice around devlink compat

From: Jakub Kicinski <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-21 17:46:46
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When calling into devlink compat code make sure we have a reference
on the netdevice on which the operation was invoked.
