Hi Rasmus

Please include a Fixes tag, to indicate where the problem was
introduced. In this case, i think it was:

Fixes: 6e46e2d821bb ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix u64 statistics")

And set the Subject to [PATCH net] to indicate this should be applied
to the net tree.

What i don't like about this is how the function finishes:

       	}
        value = (((u64)high) << 32) | low;
        return value;
}

A better fix might be

-		break
+		value = (((u64)high) << 16 | low;
+		return value;
