Ok, will do.

This one I don't understand.  Neither failing to reset the counters nor
failing to update the counters is fatal for the driver.  So far the
(unchanged) rtl8169_update_counters doesn't even print a log message,
while a failing reset in rtl8169_reset_counters now does.

Why is that not sufficent?
