net: dpaa2-mac: export standard statistics

This commit adds support for exporting MAC statistics through the
standard ethtool statistics structures (rmon, eth-ctrl, eth-mac, and
pause) in the dpaa2-mac driver for both dpaa2-eth and dpaa2-switch.

Is the .get_pause_stats callback missing from the dpaa2-switch driver?

The commit message states that rmon, eth-ctrl, eth-mac, and pause
statistics are exported for both dpaa2-eth and dpaa2-switch drivers.

Looking at dpaa2-ethtool.c, the dpaa2-eth driver registers all four
callbacks in dpaa2_ethtool_ops:

.get_rmon_stats = dpaa2_eth_get_rmon_stats,
.get_pause_stats = dpaa2_eth_get_pause_stats,
.get_eth_ctrl_stats = dpaa2_eth_get_ctrl_stats,
.get_eth_mac_stats = dpaa2_eth_get_eth_mac_stats,

But dpaa2_switch_port_ethtool_ops only registers three callbacks. The
underlying MAC layer function dpaa2_mac_get_pause_stats() exists and is
declared in dpaa2-mac.h.

Also, dpaa2_mac_open() allocates DMA memory for mac->pause_stats when
DPAA2_MAC_FEATURE_STANDARD_STATS is set:

drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-mac.c:dpaa2_mac_open() {
...
if (mac->features & DPAA2_MAC_FEATURE_STANDARD_STATS) {
dpaa2_mac_setup_stats(mac, &mac->rmon_stats,
DPAA2_MAC_NUM_RMON_STATS,
dpaa2_mac_rmon_stats);

dpaa2_mac_setup_stats(mac, &mac->pause_stats,
DPAA2_MAC_NUM_PAUSE_STATS,
dpaa2_mac_pause_stats);

dpaa2_mac_setup_stats(mac, &mac->eth_ctrl_stats,
DPAA2_MAC_NUM_ETH_CTRL_STATS,
dpaa2_mac_eth_ctrl_stats);

dpaa2_mac_setup_stats(mac, &mac->eth_mac_stats,
DPAA2_MAC_NUM_ETH_MAC_STATS,
dpaa2_mac_eth_mac_stats);
}
...
}

Without the .get_pause_stats callback in the switch driver, would the
pause_stats DMA resources be allocated but never used?
