The change to iwch_provider.c in commitf4e91eb4("IB: convert struct class_device to struct device") undid the fix done in commit7f049f2f("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call"). It removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool ops calls into the cxgb3 driver. This locking is needed to avoid messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.
