To debug link issues in the field, it is paramount to dump fec corrected/uncorrected block counts from firmware. Firmware requires PCS quad number and PCS port number to read FEC statistics. Current driver implementation does not maintain above physical properties of a port. Add new driver API to derive physical properties of an input port.These properties include PCS quad number, PCS port number, serdes lane count, primary serdes lane number. Extend ethtool option '--show-fec' to support fec statistics. The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters: - 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks - 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks Standard defines above statistics per lane but current implementation supports total FEC statistics per port i.e. sum of all lane per port.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
