There is no way i can guarantee that underlying mdio system is not using mutexes. So, i can't read stats directly from HW within ar9331_get_stats64(), only driver internal storage can be used. It is possible to poll it more frequently, but it make no reals sense on this low power devices. What kind of options do we have?
