So i took a look at the other Marvell drivers. mv643xx_eth.c, skge and
sky2.c all have code to clear the statistics. So for consistency, i
think nvneta should as well.
But it gets stranger. mvneta has:
static void mvneta_mib_counters_clear(struct mvneta_port *pp)
{
int i;
u32 dummy;
/* Perform dummy reads from MIB counters */
for (i = 0; i < MVNETA_MIB_LATE_COLLISION; i += 4)
dummy = mvreg_read(pp, (MVNETA_MIB_COUNTERS_BASE + i));
}
Looks like somebody did not finish this?
