Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] bnxt_en: Exclude rx_drop_pkts hw counter from the stack's rx_dropped counter.

From: Michael Chan <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 03:11:21 -0500

This hardware counter is misleading as it counts dropped packets that
don't match the hardware filters for unicast/broadcast/multicast.  We
will still report this counter in ethtool -S for diagnostics purposes.
