Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/15] can: kvaser_usb: do not increase tx statistics when sending error message frames

From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@...adoo.fr>

The CAN error message frames (i.e. error skb) are an interface
specific to socket CAN. The payload of the CAN error message frames
does not correspond to any actual data sent on the wire. Only an error
flag and a delimiter are transmitted when an error occurs (c.f. ISO
11898-1 section 10.4.4.2 "Error flag").

For this reason, it makes no sense to increment the tx_packets and
tx_bytes fields of struct net_device_stats when sending an error
message frame because no actual payload will be transmitted on the
wire.

N.B. Sending error message frames is a very specific feature which, at
the moment, is only supported by the Kvaser Hydra hardware. Please
refer to [1] for more details on the topic.
