commenting on sashiko's report:
https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260611-airoha-eth-multi-serdes-stats-v1-1-42442ae42064%40kernel.org

- With split MIB enabled on GDM3/GDM4, airoha_dev_get_hw_stats() programs
  REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CFG with the device's nbq before reading per-channel
  counters, so the FE_TX_MIB_ID/FE_RX_MIB_ID selector clearly gates the
  counter reads.
  After the loop in airoha_update_hw_stats(), MIB_CFG retains the last
  iterated device's nbq, and a single airoha_fe_set() is issued against
  REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR. REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR exposes only RX/TX bits with no
  separate per-channel selector.
  If, as is typical of split-MIB designs, the clear honors the same
  FE_TX_MIB_ID/FE_RX_MIB_ID selector used for reads, will only the last
  iterated device's HW counters be cleared each cycle?
  Since airoha_dev_get_hw_stats() accumulates with += on each read, would
  the un-cleared HW counters of the other devs keep being re-added to
  dev->stats on every fetch, yielding inflated stats and eventual HW
  counter overflow?
  Would moving the MIB_CLEAR write inside the per-device loop, while that
  device's nbq is still selected in MIB_CFG, address this if the clear is
  indeed per-channel? Or can the datasheet confirm REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR is
  strictly global and unaffected by split mode?
  - This is the same report available in [0].
    REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR is global and it clears all nbq counters for the port.
 
Regards,
Lorenzo
