I agree naming is hard, but I guess we could a more meaningful name, like flow_stats_cap. What do you think?

can it really happen? I guess dmam_alloc_coherent() in airoha_ppe_init()
should fail in this case, right?

can you please provide more details about it, why is it needed?
Moreover, I guess you could use airoha_fe_clear() here.

can you please try to respect the 79 column width? (I still have old habits :))
