I think that a great idea. Will split in separate functions.

I think that the ATU dump is the logical next step to implement. I'll
have a look in qca8k to see how they do things.

AFAIK there is no RMU operation for VTU dump. That needs to be done 
with register reads and writes.

In the documentation they only mention captured counters with regards 
to MDIO accesses. I cannot see that that is necessary with RMU.
FYI on our board the time delta between request and reply
