commit dcdf4ce0ff4ba206fc362e149c8ae81d6a2f849c upstream.
In the switchdev mode, when running "cat /sys/class/net/NIC/statistics/tx_packets", the ppcnt register is accessed to get the latest values. But currently this command can not get the correct values from ppcnt.
From firmware manual, before getting the 802_3 counters, the 802_3
data layout should be set to the ppcnt register.
When the command "cat /sys/class/net/NIC/statistics/tx_packets" is run, before updating 802_3 data layout with ppcnt register, the monitor counters are tested. The test result will decide the 802_3 data layout is updated or not.
Actually the monitor counters do not support to monitor rx/tx stats of 802_3 in switchdev mode. So the rx/tx counters change will not trigger monitor counters. So the 802_3 data layout will not be updated in ppcnt register. Finally this command can not get the latest values from ppcnt register with 802_3 data layout.
