Add support for tracking receive error statistics from PHYs integrated into the KSZ9477 family of Ethernet switches. The integrated PHYs expose a receive error (RXER) counter in register 0x15. This counter increments when the PHY detects one or more symbol errors on a received frame. The register is cleared upon reading. Changes include: - `kszphy_update_stats()` to accumulate the RX error count. - `kszphy_get_phy_stats()` to expose this count via ethtool PHY stats. - Addition of a private `rx_err_pkt_cnt` field in the driver. - Registration of `.update_stats` and `.get_phy_stats` callbacks in the KSZ9477 PHY driver structure. The functionality of this counter was confirmed by physically disturbing the signal lines - specifically by wiggling exposed twisted pair wires and intentionally shorting between pairs. These actions triggered RXER increments, validating the counter's behavior. This RXER counter is confirmed for KSZ9477 and likely applicable to other related PHYs like those in KSZ9313.

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.
