From: Gal Pressman <galp@...lanox.com>


[ Upstream commit 8ff93de7668bd81bc8efa819d1184ebd48fae72d ]

Symbol error during carrier counter from PPCNT was mistakenly reported as
TX carrier errors in get_stats ndo, although it's an RX counter.

Fixes: 269e6b3af3bf ("net/mlx5e: Report additional error statistics in get stats ndo")
