Until now, there has been no need to hold the reg mutex while getting the count of statistics, or the strings, because the hardware was not accessed. When adding support for SERDES statistics, it is necessary to access the hardware, to determine if a port is using the SERDES interface. So add mutex lock/unlocks.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
