So that it's easier to follow and make sense of the branching and various conditions. Stats retrieval has been split into two separate functions ethtool_get_phy_stats_phydev & ethtool_get_phy_stats_ethtool. The former attempts to retrieve the stats using phydev & phy_ops, while the latter uses ethtool_ops. Actual n_stats validation & array allocation has been moved into a new ethtool_vzalloc_stats_array helper. This also fixes a potential NULL dereference of ops->get_ethtool_phy_stats where it was getting called in an else branch unconditionally without making sure it was actually present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
