IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99 defines a MAC Merge sublayer which contains an Express MAC and a Preemptible MAC. Both MACs are hidden to higher and lower layers and visible as a single MAC (packet classification to eMAC or pMAC on TX is done based on priority; classification on RX is done based on SFD). For devices which support a MAC Merge sublayer, it is desirable to retrieve individual packet counters from the eMAC and the pMAC, as well as aggregate statistics (their sum). Introduce a new ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC attribute which is part of the policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_STATS_GET and, and an ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS_SRC which is part of the policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_PAUSE_GET (accepted when ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS is set in the common ethtool header). Both of these take values from enum ethtool_mac_stats_src, defaulting to "aggregate" in the absence of the attribute. Existing drivers do not need to pay attention to this enum which was added to all driver-facing structures, just the ones which report the MAC merge layer as supported.
