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.

These are ethtool knobs, so you might want to introduce a new config symbol dedicated to it, which depends on CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS eventually.

I'd like to gather at least most stats always, so ethtool can work regardless of
debugfs.  But, that can be follow on patches in my opinion.  If it turns out
that we need another config option for this, then that is fine too.

Thanks,
Ben
