Your fix is fine, what I have in my tree is the following, so if you

        struct rtnl_link_stats64 *vsi_stats =
i40e_get_vsi_stats_struct(vsi);
        int i;
  
        if (test_bit(__I40E_DOWN, &vsi->state))
               return stats;

        if (!vsi->tx_rings)
               return stats;
