[RFC PATCH v2 net-next 12/12] net: remove obsolete comments about ndo_get_stats64 context from eth drivers

From: Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com>
Date: 2021-01-05 19:02:46
Also in: intel-wired-lan, linux-s390, linux-scsi, linux-usb
Subsystem: cisco vic ethernet nic driver, forcedeth gigabit ethernet driver, networking drivers, sfc network driver, the rest · Maintainers: Satish Kharat, Rain River, Zhu Yanjun, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Edward Cree, Linus Torvalds

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

Now that we have a good summary in Documentation/networking/netdevices.rst,
these comments serve no purpose and are actually distracting/confusing.
