Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v3 08/10] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for

This is Marvell. Nothing is easy, they keep making subtle changes like
this.

I don't think it will be too ugly. We have the abstraction in place to
support it. So feel free to add a follow up patch adding these
statistics if you want.

Fine, you can add this later, if you do get a test system.
