[PATCH] net/mlx5e: Expose physical received bits counters to ethtool

From: Kenta Akagi <hidden>

Also in: linux-rdma, lkml
Subsystem: mellanox ethernet driver (mlx5e), mellanox mlx5 core vpi driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Saeed Mahameed, Tariq Toukan, Mark Bloch, Leon Romanovsky, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

rx_bits_phy is documented but not shown in ethtool --statistics.
Make this value available via ethtool.

According to existing documentation, rx_bits_phy is needed to calculate the
error rate from rx_pcs_symbol_err_phy and rx_corrected_bits_phy. The
existing rx_bytes_phy cannot be used for this calculation as it appears
to be a counter above the PHY in the strict sense (i.e. traffic based).

To avoid confusion, it might be better to use a different name (e.g.,
rx_bits_pcs), but for now, I will submit the patch as per the
documentation.
