> Currently ethtool shows lbrx_packets and lbrx_bytes (Good RX
> Packets/Octets loopback Count), but doesn't show the TX-side
> equivalents (lbtx_packets and lbtx_bytes). Add visibility of those
> missing statistics by adding them to ethtool statistics.
>
> In addition, the order of lbrx_bytes and lbrx_packets is not
> consistent with non-loopback statistics (rx_packets, rx_bytes).
> Therefore, align the order by swapping positions of lbrx_bytes and
> lbrx_packets.
