The decision whether to report serdes statistics currently depends on the cached C_Mode value for the port, read at probe time or updated by configuration. However, port 4 can be in "automedia" mode when it is used as a serdes port, meaning it switches between the internal PHY and the serdes, changing the read-only C_Mode value depending on which first gains link. Consequently, the C_Mode value read at probe does not accurately reflect whether the port has the serdes associated with it. In "net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: add mv88e6352_g2_scratch_port_has_serdes()", we added a way to read the hardware configuration to determine which port has the serdes associated with it. Use this to determine which port reports the serdes statistics.

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 Restructured Text 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.
