Add support for drivers to report the total number of MPDUs received
and the number of MPDUs received with an FCS error from a specific
peer. These counters will be incremented only when the TA of the
frame matches the MAC address of the peer irrespective of FCS
error.
We do have rx_packets field but it is for MMPDUs and MSDUs which might
not reflect the number of MPDUs in all cases. Hence we introduced new
field for MPDU count.
Hmm. The error one seems mostly reasonable, I guess, but do we really
not having anything that's the total number of MPDUs already?
And then, I guess, what exactly would you want there? We might not
always even be able to provide that?
I'm also left wondering what the application here is -
These two fields together will help to find bad rx link with a specific
peer. This information can be used for example to steer the client to a
different BSS.
