[PATCH RFC mlx5-next 1/1] net/mlx5e: Expose physical received bits counters to ethtool
From: Kenta Akagi
Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 02:03:58 EST
rx_bits_phy is documented but not shown in ethtool --statistics.
Make this value available via ethtool.
rx_bits_phy is needed to calculate the Bit Error Ratio from
rx_pcs_symbol_err_phy or 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 layer in the strict sense (i.e. traffic based).
