Introduce a new ethtool statistic to ice driver, `link_down_events`,
to track the number of times the link transitions from up to down.
This counter can help diagnose issues related to link stability,
such as port flapping or unexpected link drops.
The counter increments when a link-down event occurs and is exposed
via ethtool stats as `link_down_events.nic`.
Are you aware of commit 9a0f830f8026 ("ethtool: linkstate: add a
statistic for PHY down events")?
Better to report this via the generic counter than a driver-specific
one.
Right, thank you for pointing this, I just submitted v2 where ethtool
get_link_ext_stats() interface is used.
