We had intended to say "sizeof(u32)" but the "u" is missing.
Fortunately, sizeof(32) is also 4, so the original code still works.

Fixes: c4e7beea2192 ("net: qcom/emac: add ethtool support for reading hardware registers")

We have a function where the argument is ignored and the rest is const ?

emac_ethtool_get_regs_len seems the only user. So it would be fairly easy to
move that into that function.

@maintainer:
Is there a deeper logic behind this ?

I don't understand the question.

The patch is valid (I have no idea how I made that mistake).

The question is: why is a simple calculation const*const
separated into a function ?

It's not the only user.  We have to pass netdev because it's used as a
function pointer.

This is a callback function.  That's just how it's defined.

It's rare, but there are drivers that use the parameter, like this one:
