This change unfortunately breaks the kernel build. There's already
a struct called devlink_stats. You can change that later but that'd 
be a separate patch, after the spec changes are accepted.

For now just keep these enums unnamed.

If the C codegen tries to use them as named (which I don't see it doing
now, FWIW) you can add an empty enum-name: attribute to the appropriate
enum definition in the spec, this will make the C code generator use a
bare "int" to store the values.
