Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] net/mlx5e: Don't gate FEC histograms on ppcnt_statistical_group

From: Alexei Lazar <alazar@...dia.com>

Currently, the ppcnt_statistical_group capability check
incorrectly gates access to FEC histogram statistics.
This capability applies only to statistical and physical
counter groups, not for histogram data.

Restrict the ppcnt_statistical_group check to the
Physical_Layer_Counters and Physical_Layer_Statistical_Counters
groups.
Histogram statistics access remains gated by the pphcr
capability.

The issue is harmless as of today, as it happens that
ppcnt_statistical_group is set on all existing devices that
have pphcr set.

Fixes: 6b81b8a0b197 ("net/mlx5e: Don't query FEC statistics when FEC is disabled")
