> For "Dropped packets by DMAC filters" did not find any equivalent APIs, so will keep it as is.
Nope. Propose a generic netlink API, probably as an extension to
ethtool, which other vendors can use as well.
This is exactly Jakub and my point. Is your hardware so special it
does things which no other vendor does? Is the concept of DMAC filters
dropping packets unique to your hardware? Is this feature so obscure
that no other vendor will ever implement it? And if it is that
obscure, is any user actually going to use it?
