The debugfs interface is pre-existing and **in addition** to the
standard Linux interfaces which are also provided. It is true that
the debugfs interface in this case doesn't provide much additional
value apart from having the counter listed next to the hardware-
specific hashtable keys. As the debugfs interface for now aims to
be as complete as possible, naturally there is some redundance of
things which can also be accessed using other (standard) interfaces.
Anyway. See function mtk_flow_offload_stats which now also reports
counters.
Cheers
Daniel
