Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
a new call.  Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
from ->get_sset_count().

Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h,
addressing your comment.

Agreed.

I've attached a follow-up patch, which should enable my/Jeff's kernel
patch to be applied, followed by this one.
