This seems strange, why is the output of a get contingent on a ignored
input attribute? Shouldn't the HWCOUNTER_DYNAMIC just always be
emitted?

The CMD_STAT_GET is originally used to get the default hwcounter statistic
(the value of all hwstats), now we also want to use this command to get a
list of counters (just name and status), so kernel differentiates these 2
cases based on HWCOUNTER_DYNAMIC attr.

Don't do that, it is not how netlink works. Either the whole attribute
should be returned or you need a new get command

Will add a new get command for backward compatibility, thanks.
