Ah ok, thanks for the info. I verified the output of "ethtool -i 
<eth_device>" with and without of this function and as you mentioned, 
got the same result in both the cases. So I will remove this function in 
the next version.

Yes, it is already called in the "oa_tc6_init()" function of 
drivers/net/ethernet/oa_tc6.c file.
