Essentially reverts commit 8fd75c58a0 ("i40e: move ethtool
stats boiler plate code to i40e_ethtool_stats.h", 2018-08-30), and
additionally moves the similar code in i40evf into i40evf_ethtool.c.
The code was intially moved from i40e_ethtool.c into i40e_ethtool_stats.h
as a way of better logically organizing the code. This has two problems.
First, we can't have an inline function with variadic arguments on all
platforms. Second, it gave the appearance that we had plans to share
code between the i40e and i40evf drivers, due to having a near copy of
the contents in the i40evf/i40e_ethtool_stats.h file.
Patches which actually attempt to combine or share code between the i40e
and i40evf drivers have not materialized, and are likely a ways off.
Rather than fixing the one function which causes build issues, just move
this code back into the i40e_ethtool.c and i40evf_ethtool.c files. Note
that we also change these functions back from static inlines to just
statics, since they're no longer in a header file.
We can revisit this if/when work is done to actually attempt to share
code between drivers. Alternatively, this stats code could be made more
generic so that it can be shared across drivers as part of ethtool
kernel work.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
