Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main)

Kernel selftests wait 1.25x of the promised stats refresh time
(as read from ethtool -c). bnxt reports 1sec by default, but
the stats update process has two steps. First device DMAs the
new values, then the service task performs update in full-width
SW counters. So the worst case delay is actually 2x.

Note that the behavior is different for ring stats and port stats.
Port stats are fetched synchronously by the service worker, so
there's no risk of doubling up the delay there.
