Subject: net/mlx5e: Fix TX carrier errors report in get stats ndo
From: Gal Pressman <galp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8ff93de7668bd81bc8efa819d1184ebd48fae72d ]
Symbol error during carrier counter from PPCNT was mistakenly reported as
TX carrier errors in get_stats ndo, although it's an RX counter.
Fixes: 269e6b3af3bf ("net/mlx5e: Report additional error statistics in get stats ndo")
