This returns many of the values that formerly could
only be obtained from debugfs. This should be an
improvement when trying to access these counters
programatically. Currently this support is only
enabled when DEBUGFS is enabled because otherwise
these stats are not accumulated.

Given that ethtool (unlike debugfs) is itself an unconditional feature,
why not make this unconditional? Is it expensive to accumulate the
stats?
Please at least fix the name.
^ config option
The ath9k stats are currently only gathered when debugfs is enabled.
I could do some patches in the future to allow stats to always
be gathered regardless of debugfs being enabled, but since
ath9k is used on small form factor systems, there may be some
resistance to enabling that all the time.
Thanks,
Ben
