Currently, there's no way to report per-layer stats. To address the above issues, adding a new DVBv5-based stats API. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- v6: Add DocBook documentation. v7: Some fixes as suggested by Antti v8: Documentation fix, compilation fix and name the stats struct, for its reusage inside the core v9: counters need 32 bits.
