Hi Florian

This is much better. Here is an MDIO bus with a Marvel MV88E6390

andrew@zii-devel-c-bidi:/sys/class/mdio_bus/0.1/statistics$ awk ' { print FILENAME " " $0  } ' transfers_? transfers_?? transfers
transfers_0 93
transfers_1 80
transfers_2 80
transfers_3 80
transfers_4 102
transfers_5 18
transfers_6 7
transfers_7 7
transfers_8 7
transfers_9 7
transfers_10 82
transfers_11 0
transfers_12 0
transfers_13 0
transfers_14 0
transfers_15 0
transfers_16 0
transfers_17 0
transfers_18 0
transfers_19 0
transfers_20 0
transfers_21 0
transfers_22 0
transfers_23 0
transfers_24 0
transfers_25 0
transfers_26 0
transfers_27 288
transfers_28 3328
transfers_29 0
transfers_30 0
transfers_31 0
transfers 4179

As you can see, there are transfers on a number of addresses.

I've not looked at the code yet, but i can give:

Tested-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx>

I will review the code soon.
