Will take care in v3.

I agree that some of the counters exported by this patch set, tx and
rx bytes/pkts etc, can be exported
through the core counters. i will try adding  this support in v3, if
not, will post as a separate patch.
debugfs was introduced more for the future, in case any HW specific
data needs to be displayed.
As of now, it tracks only the count of resources( CQ/MR/QPs) active at
any given point. So its ok to
skip this patch from this series.

Sure, will take care in v3.

This file contains the Macro defines for the FW/HW structures and are
auto-generated. Some of these auto-generated defines are very long
which makes the lines greater than
80 characters. I will fix whatever possible and include in v3 set.
