I simply wanted to add a comment in front of this function/helper,
advising not using it unless absolutely needed.
Thus my question "In which context is it safe to call this helper ?"
As long as it was private with a driver, I did not mind.
But if made public in include/linux/netdevice.h, I would rather not
have to explain
to future users why it can be problematic.
