Ahh, I stand corrected.

Yes, this is separate. That's why I wrote "The ultimate patch 
would be".

BTW, I like your two patches combined more than Sebastians memset 
approach. Because with Sebastians patch on on ethX we would get 
zeroed nonsense instead of uninitialized nonsense.

The memset should possible there anyway in the case of a firmware 
that can mshX, but not CMD_ACT_MESH_GET_STATS or which would 
return some error for another reason.
