Up above here in scmi_handle_respnonse() I would take care to track a
few interesting stats about when reponses that went bad...if you look at
scmi_xfer_command_acquire() you will notice that a whole class of errors
there, and spread all around the core, are handled by scmi_bad_message_trace():
please handle all of these errors based on the type of the enum scmi_bad_msg...

....which means, IOW, add a counter for each the enum scmi_bad_msg and handle
them in scmi_bad_message_trace(), so that they will get counted everywhere....
and... :P ... while doing this please consider as usual the fact that we will
like the log_stats call to vanish completely at compile time if STATS=n

...then please look also into handle_notification() and try to add a couple
of counters there too...

... we can discuss all of these new counters in the next review...

I would rename this as 'xfer_response_polled_timeout' (so adding one more
stats to the structs and debugfs) in order to discern this timeout case
for the one below.

..in this same code-block, down below right before the trace_scmi_msg, I
would add a:

scmi_log_stats(&info->stats.response_polled_ok);

...if not, you will end-up counting only the successfull reply on the IRQ
path, i.e. only the one that are served by handle_response.

This is a different kind of timeout...on non-polled request, lets keep
it named as it is now...

Same here ... you have different reason for failures in the following,
so you could try to count them separately...

sent_fail_polling_unsupported

this is the basic, original send failure...it is a generic failure at the transport layer,
so lets keep it named like it is now...

...here you can just place your (instead of the one down below)

scmi_log_stats(&info->stats.sent_ok);

...becasue now, right here, you are already sure that the message has been sent ...

...this is NOT a sent_fail...you DID send successfully the message AND received
successfully a response (ret==0) BUT there was an error of some kind at the protocol
layer...i.e. the server sent you an error code in the reply...so I would count here
instead something named like

stats.protocol_errs

> + } else {
> + scmi_log_stats(&info->stats.sent_ok);

and this is really late to be counted as sent, so it would be clearer to
count it above (where I mentiones), so please drop the else.

Thanks,
