Consider that application do not want to receive any error packets as it will
drop all
the error packets after increasing the error counter maintainer in the
application.
If same functionality can be done by the hardware where hardware maintains the
error
statistics, then why not have the same?
When hardware does parsing of packet headers and found error during that
parsing,
this is to say to HW - hey drop any such error packets which you found during
parsing
and just increase specific error counter (if present).
I agree, granular shall also be added, but as our driver does not support them,
so I did
not add those bits here.

We do not support per queue configuration for error packet drop, but only
on ethernet basis.
